Being a mother of three I have found that all of my children have went through the phase of asking, Why? Why is the sky blue?, why this and why that. When we as parents start to tell them the answer they continue to ask more questions before we can answer the first one. As a parent I have tried to accurately answer these questions without confusing my children even more. I think that it works that way with our Heavenly Father. We go through many trials and tribulations in life and then ask God, Why? Like a child, we can not be still and wait for him to finish telling us the answer, instead we start asking him more questions. Sometimes if we would just be still we would see that we are talking over our Father, not listening, and still expecting to get a clear answer.
At age 34 I have been through many things that I still do not have the answers for, but like a child I have had a hard time being still and listening to My Father. For those of you who know me personally, you know my many struggles. I honestly feel it would have been so much easier if I would have just been still and listened instead of asking more questions that only would add to my confusion, confliction, and my restless wandering thoughts.
This being my very first blog post I thought I would share what I have learned by being still in hopes that someone else will not have to wait 34 years to realize that asking why requires us to actually let God answer, in HIS own time, and in HIS own way. BE STILL, and the answer will be revealed.
