Dots of Life

When I first arrived in New York City, it was this cluster of massive dots, all jumbled and disconnected. It was pretty disorienting.

I hung out with my family and met new people. They introduced me to more people. All of a sudden, I find myself sharing stories of friends back home and looking forward to keeping the new ones I met here.

I like to think from God's perspective it all makes sense. We are not just dots, instead we are all connected, and it's beautiful, and it's funny, and it's good. We cannot expect it to make sense right now, but I believe I have learned something important from them and them from me.

Maybe that is the glory of faith - it is not something external but something you possess inside. And it's beautiful, and it's funny, and it's good!
