I feel good in this moment, but I didn't earlier today, and here are some things I jotted down in my little black journal.
I can recognize that Puerto Rico is good and mourn the loss of Dallas.
I can know that sanctification is good, but it can hurt.
I can be sad and know that God is so, so close to me.
Our Savior suffered, and the veil between heaven and earth is at it thinnest in our suffering.

Amen!
I love you and I love this.
You wrote such profitable things on my blog when I was in Thailand, I'm not sure I can reciprocate in like measure. But there is Bonhoeffer:
"When the Bible speaks of following Jesus, it is proclaiming a discipleship which will liberate mankind from all man-made dogmas, from every burden and oppression, from every anxiety and torture which afflicts the conscience...We can only achieve perfect liberty and enjoy fellowship with Jesus when his command, his call to absolute discipleship, is appreciated in its entirety. Only the [man or woman] who folows the command of Jesus single-mindedly, and unresistingly lets his yoke rest upon [him or her], finds his burden easy, and under its gentle pressure receives the power to persevere in the right way."
