God seems to really like providing solutions to things I've been trying to think through, and he tends to provide such unintuitive and radically different ones than I'd been considering that I'm left at such a loss for explaining how I came to possess them. ๐ It's humbling and helpful, and I am grateful, but it also asserts a need for me to depend yet more upon his provisions than I feel comfortable with. ๐ฅ

@bthall This is exactly how it works for me, down to the feeling of dependence being so far outside of my comfort zone. I think it's deliberately so unintuitive to make sure you know it wasn't just clever lateral thinking on your part that came to the "way more brilliant than your previous line of thinking" conclusion
After the fact analysis of my thinking patterns and the miraculous solution tend to involve the following:
Me: Semi-linear thinking, walking along the X axis with slight movements up and down the Y axis, but mostly hugging the X axis. Premises considered: A,B,C,D
Miraculous solution: Z axis, baby! Premises A and B were wrong, but C and D were OK. #thinking #ideas
