I enjoyed how you connected the art of guessing with the practice of not googling in your linked essay. The two sentiments definitely go hand-in-hand. To stay in the uncertainty in today's world almost feels like a failure of sorts by society's standards; yet I have found it immensely satisfying that not only do I not have the answers but I don't always need to be the one to find them either. Things are looking like I should be able to attend WCP this Sunday. Hope to meet you there!

I love and relate so much to this Colette. I encountered the purpose driven life as a young adult and it really captivated me with it's clear dogmatic message, speaking to a part of me that longed to be seen as valuable and important. My struggle finding peace with not knowing is the certainty that is often proclaimed within the church. I think so much is guessing, hoping after weighing up options, making the best choice with our limited knowledge. I love how you reframe all this as the way of grace and wisdom, the place of formation. It is the way of faith, unsettling but freeing us from being experts to be followers of wisdom and wonder.
