Take away the dross from the silver, and the smith has material for a vessel;‭‭  Proverbs‬ ‭25:4‬ ‭ESV‬‬

This is a strange journey and one I trust is His plan for taking away the dross and making me into material worthy of shaping into a vessel. 

What that vessel will be or how long this journey is, I do not know; so daily (at the office surrounded by chaos and a gazillion minutia) and nightly (at the hotel cloaked in loneliness and quiet) I must trust him with this strange path.
