I totally agree - I think.  Especially in a spiritual sense.  I know for
a fact that the amazing personal/spiritual growth I've experienced over
the past six months has not come from the solutions to the problems or
the answers to the prayers.  It has come mostly from the process of
praying, weeping, praying, trusting, praying, searching, praying,
waiting, and - oh yeah, praying.  But I still don't believe we really
learn from a process until that process is brought to a close.  

A quite rushed/ home for lunch type thought.
