I had a conversation with my best friend last night. After hearing me gripe and bitch and moan about something that was troubling me, my bestie said something that gave me pause. She noted that it wasn’t problem A or situation B that was the issue but we were entering a territory where I don’t trust God. I could’ve gone on about how of course I trust God.

You call me ‘Teacher’ and ‘Lord,’ and you are right, because that’s what I am. And since I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you ought to wash each other’s feet.
