Crying in God's presence

This morning as I walked into church carrying Jacob, he started crying. Actually, it was more than just crying. He started screaming.

I can learn from him.

How I sometimes long to cry so openly, to scream about the brokenness that I see around me, to weep over the realities of living in a sinful world.

But I don't. Adults are supposed to have it all together, especially in church.

If church is really a place for us to experience God, a God who is God of all our emotions, then maybe Jacob understands this much more than I do.
