I applaud your search for the perfect form of this verb, although I must admit I am some distance behind you. I am a different man in some ways than I was 14 years ago, and in some ways the same. I graduated from having a higher power to now having a full blown God, and I know a few more things about myself. It seems the more I know, the less I know. Maybe it’s just the result of better headlights, and paying attention to the occasional “Bridge Out” sign. I try not to run from pain anymore, mostly because my God is not the God of “Christmas presents”, but is a God I can bring my pains and joys to. I am still certain, if I am completely honest, that after all this time that I do not trust Him completely, but I don’t think this is an issue with Him. Part of my journey is exploring the notion that my needs and the needs of others are connected, in fact dependent on one another.
