In this time of


having babies,
moving,
uncertain job markets,
new Presidents,
wars,
rumours of wars,
famine,

Q and I find this quote comforting:

"Naturally, we are inclined to be so mathematical and calculating that we look upon uncertainty as a bad thing... Certainty is the mark of the common-sense life; gracious uncertainty is the mark of the spiritual life. To be certain of God means that we are uncertain in all our ways, we do not know what a day may bring forth. This is generally said with a sigh of sadness; it should rather be an expression of breathless expectation." Oswald Chambers

I'm going to remember the "breathless expectation" part. Such a nice quote.
