My spiritual journey has lead me to a rather dark place, one where I feel very alone and am yearning to find comfort in the wilderness. I am learning to embrace the struggle rather than to fear it, because in my grief and pain, I will find peace and healing.
The first thing my pastor Dr. Bob taught me is that most people (especially women) view their problems as chocolate chips in a pancake - not that chocolate could EVER be bad, but figuratively seeing every chocolate chip as an issue and you can see them all at once. Its as if they are multiplying and magnifying the whole thing - some of them even clump together! We try to fix everything all at one time; we're natural multitaskers you know!
God on the other hand deals with our problems like waffles, compartmentalizing every little thing. He works on things one thing at a time. One square and one chocolate chip at a time.
