The triumph of recently finishing my last square was soon after replaced by the tediousness of sewing them all together. After having spent three months and 50-60 hours in their creation, I thought facetiously to myself, this is going to take forever. Square by square, I began stitching rows into strips, and strips together. Slowly, the segments began to form a whole.
My life as an adult has been divided. School (as was), home, work, church - sometimes they seem like separate worlds in themselves. I feel like a different person in each of them - not better or worse, just different - and not fully known by any of them. There are few people who bridge multiple segments of my life, and thus few who can get a full picture of who I really am. When my heart cries out to be known, only God is there, holding my life together, seeing the whole, and comforting intimately.
Psalm 139:1, 4 "O Lord, you have searched me and you know me. Before a word is on my tongue you know it completely, O Lord."
