In my spiritual practices class, we've recently been doing a lot of work with lamentations... It strikes the very core of my being. If we can't be honest with each other and our feelings and up front with the fact that our lives are not always sunshine and rainbows, what kind of family are we?
Lamenting is part of being human. God didn't create humans to be angels - God created angels to be angels - we're not supposed to be perfect. We have ups and downs, peaks and valleys, and honoring our wounds and scars is part of being whole and holy.
This is the first thing from the class that's really struck me in such a way... I know I am supposed to do more with this, but I don't know exactly what that means.
