Have you ever wondered why God does certain things or allows certain things to happen? I know I have.
I travel a lot for my job and I often ask God why. Why do I have to travel? Am I supposed to learn something? Am I hear to help others? Why hasn’t something opened in my area of expertise where I live? God, are you even listening? Ugh! Why God?
The reality is that He does not need to provide me with answers. As a servant, when He calls I need to be ready to go wherever.
This sucks when it goes against who you are. I am a homebody. In other words, I like being home near my family. I need to remember that God’s ways are not always my ways.
So instead of me going why God, maybe I need to say Thank you God. I know it sounds weird, but God has me where I am for a reason. I should be thankful that He has entrusted me to do His will, whatever that may be. I just wish I knew.
God help me to be thankful for where I am instead of where I want to be. Also, help me to understand what your plan is for me being so far away from home.
