are we who live in this world that is broken and being made new again. blessed are we who are sometimes afraid of the unknown future, who cling to our check lists and planning goals and our own feeble abilities, who want to do the work of god but are not sure how to do it. blessed are we who struggle with our faith, seeking to step out into it but still unsure, and we who are poor in ways we might not have ever imagined.
