Why? this weekend I kept asking myself that simple question. Why this? Why me? Why now? It's probably because I am going through a lot of changes right now. My wife and I are pregnant for the first time and I feel that I am not ready. I feel that I'm not where I should be. I feel I should be less selfish. Granted, my wife and I (at least I was) were definitely in our mid thirties before we were even married. We had been used to living on our own, doing our own thing, planning our own meals, going on trips, out to the park or anything without worrying about anyone else. Now, our freedom is both less and more. (We'll save the more for another blog.) Why did my wife even marry me? And why did it take so many years to meet her?
Why? My spiritual life is somewhat in a place that I am enjoying, but then I ask why am I in this position? Why me? Why has God put me in this place?
The simple answer is because He did. HE DID! He, the creator of the universe. The maker of the galaxies and all 237 in a caterpillar's head put ME in this very place. He placed me in this position. At this time. At this moment. With these people. He, Him, God, put me in this place to 1) bring Him glory and 2) do His will!
And yet, we still ask why?
