The Shack called it a fractal. A mess. Problems. Tragedies. Hardships. Persecutions. Loss. Discrimination. Apathy. Discouragement. Struggles. Abandonment. Disillusions. Disappointments. Failures. It's the story of life. It's our story. It seems to be in the design, that we will all experience these things. And it will look like a fractal: an image that appears to be disorganized and scattered, but when closely studied, is an intricate pattern of repeated arrangements and designs. The Shack referred to it as "perfectly in process", and admitted that "no one reaches their potential on Earth". Our conclusion must be to bring God into our fractals. Bring Him into our mess. Never count out the God-factor. Never give up on God coming through for us. He can make something out of nothing. He can turn bad to good. He can make something good out of something that appears bad. He can bring order to chaos. May we invite Him into every part of our lives and wait...and watch...for "Aslan is on the move"! (The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe).
