Untouchable

I know its been a while since I wrote last. We've been on retreat and we've also experienced alot over here. The question I keep asking (in my head) is how do you keep fighting for a better tommorow when you are having enough trouble getting through today? What happens when you cannot separate who you are and what you have done? I wish everyone's story had a completely unadulterated happy ending. However, sometimes joy is not pure. Sometimes the pain is mixed with the healing and you have to validate what is there.

I think the following Nouwen quote illustrates this " We are chosen and blessed. When we have truly owned this, have said "Yes" to it. Then we can face our own and others' brokenness with open eyes.
