Life is so full of questions marks. I see them in lives of those around me, and I see them in my own. At times they seem manageable, and other times it can feel like they are drowning me. Sometimes things just don't make sense, and they are just plain hard.
- Why did I lose my job? When will the right job come? How long do I have to wait?
- Why did my child choose that path? Didn't I do a better job teaching them what is right?
- Why is my marriage struggling so much? Why did he/she cheat on me? Why did he/she leave me?
- Why is my child so sick? God when are you going to bring answers and healing?
- When is this season going to end? How much longer can I continue on like this?
In the past month I have been wrestling with my own set of question marks....at times handling them well and other times letting them consume my thoughts and emotions. About a week or so ago while I was out driving and praying I just felt God speak to my heart telling me that all these things I am questioning have no question marks from his perspective. I felt encouraged to rest in Truth rather than fear. To let go and trust Him. To remember that He is in control, and know that His sentences always end with a period. For this "checklist mom" resting and surrendering are not always easy. But what a peace knowing that I don't have to know it all, but He does! He knows how each part of my story will end! And He knows the ending of yours too! <3
