I can so relate to what you are saying about America culture not wanting people to be messy! We want things to go smoothly according to our plans. And if something difficult occurs, we want to get it fixed asap. And yes, come back and tell me about it AFTER it has been gilded with gold and going well again so I can rejoice in the end product and not worry about what the messy process was to get to the fix.
But I think what happens in the middle of the mess is so important to God, so important to our growth. And it is messy and it does take time and in reality we don't know what the end product will be! But I know for myself the middle of the mess has been important and I am learning so much about myself, about others, about my God! It is worth going through the hard, the mess to see what can come from it!
I purchased a kintsugi sticker to remind myself that God will put it back together in His way, in His time and make something beautiful from the mess! He promises!
Thanks for sharing this experience! I would have loved to participate and may just have to have a kintsugi party!
Love this! Yes, the mess is so much harder. I want everything to be neat and clean and to tell you about it when it makes any kind of sense. You'll have to show me the sticker.
