I Am Asking “Why” Too!

 written February 8, 2011: 

I walk around with all the "WHY" questions like everyone else
and stay unsettled in the not knowing just how it all goes...
there are days I am strong and the WHY's are just there
then the days that my grief is just centered around all
the "WHY's" that are hanging around....

Amazing I get anything done trying to solve this mystery of
life and yet we all go along without knowing just "WHY" and
everyone works and everyone plays ~ even though we all
struggle with all the daily questions of "WHY"~I don't know!

Yes, I don't know "WHY" today or any day but have learned
that by faith to just trust that the God that I serve doesn't
need me to know the answers right now but one day we will and
then we may be glad we didn't know - just sayin' it could be
so.....just my theory I know.....

WHY do you ask, do I believe such a thing and I have to
reply with the same as before, I don't know but I do.
I trust and by faith live without the question of "WHY"
being answered today.....hope you do too.....

"WHY?" Because I care about you..........by Donella

When you go through deep waters, I will be with you. When you go through rivers of difficulty, you will not drown. When you walk through the fire of oppression, you will not be burned up; the flames will not consume you. Isaiah 43:2

God Can!

 There is nothing in this world that we cannot overcome with the power of God. There is always HOPE because God is the God of the impossible.

"But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible." Matthew 19:26

We always want someone to fix our problems or we always want to fix other people's problems. The reminder is that we are not that powerful but God has the power to change everything. In every desperate moment of life - God Can!

When my children were young I could fix most of their problems by walking to the little store with them and letting them buy a bag of powdered donuts for all of us to share. That was always a game changer in our household. Now they are adults and a bag of powdered donuts would not help at all. Actually, there is nothing I can do for them because their problems are so out of my depth. I will pray with them and pray for them that the God I serve will instead take care of them and every situation they are possibly dealing with on a daily basis.

God’s Masterpiece: Creation - Bible Study of Genesis Chapter 1

Genesis 1 is an iconic chapter that recounts the majestic story of God’s creation, setting the stage for the entire Bible.

-This book begins at the beginning. 

-God is the creator of the universe. 

-He created man and then created woman. 

-This chapter took place everywhere. The entire universe and it describes all the earth.

Genesis 1 tells us that God created the world in 6 days.

Verses 1-2 describes the world beforehand.

Verses 3-5 Day 1 - on the first day God created light and called it “DAY” & the darkness “NIGHT.”

Verses 6-8 Day 2 - God created an expanse that separated the waters and called the expanse heaven.

Verses 9-13 Day 3 - God created dry land and called it earth and the waters he called seas. Who is naming everything? God Next he made the vegetation, plants and trees that grow on the earth.

Verses 14-19 Day 4 - God created sun, moon, planets and stars. He created day & night for us to know our days, seasons and years.

Verses 20-23 Day 5 - God created sea life and birds. He blessed them saying, “Be fruitful and multiply.”

Verses 24-31 Day 6 - God created the animals then created man and woman in his own image. He appointed them to be in charge (dominion) over all the animals. 

God is the author of creativity. Everything God made is beautiful and wonderful. When I am at the beach or in the mountains I sense Gods creative powers. Nature is captivating to our souls.
