		<description><![CDATA[Kari,
I found your blog through my cousin Meredith&#039;s and just want to thank you for it. You say things that I have felt and never given words to, like the whole outside-of-the-circle thing.

		<description><![CDATA[I quit looking for the pattern, as well. And I&#039;m not sure there is a pattern in the way I was expecting it to be... I used to think God worked in our lives and in the world like He was creating a tapestry, and though to us all we could see were the threads and mess of the backside, one day we would see the finished product and understand how He put all the threads there for a purpose, for beauty. 

Now I think it&#039;s more like a patchwork quilt... He takes the tattered pieces of our lives, the pain, sin and death, and pieces them together to make beauty. And so the end result will be beautiful--He will work all to good, everything will be made right and good in the end. But it doesn&#039;t necessarily have to ever make sense. 

Anyway, all that to say that I&#039;m with you :)]]></description>
