“In modern Christian culture we absolutely love a good before and after story. We structure our testimonies around a clear narrative arc:  I was broken, but God put me back together. I was lost, but now I’m found. I was sick, but then I prayed, and I was miraculously healed….But what happens when you are stuck in the “during”? What happens when your “after” still includes a wheelchair, a daily handful of psychiatric medications, or an ongoing struggle to get out of bed?… A limping, scarred, authentic faith is infinitely more powerful than a pristine, fake one.  You are allowed to be messy. You are allowed to be unhealed. You’re allowed to be loud. Your life, exactly as it is right now,is a breathtaking testimony to the sustaining grace of a God who meets us in our deepest weakness." ~James Wade
