Fall: The Accident

Eldrege talks about "insisting" on explainations. Can you relate to him on this subject? Is there anythign that you had hoped that God would explain to you and you have not been able to understand yet?

I can't really think of anything that God hasn't explained to me yet. I did like this section though because God pointed some things out to me that I hadn't been doing. Eldredge talks about asking the next question. He says that so many times we ask we the first question, get an answer, and then go with it. I am so guilty of this. I get so excited for the answer to the question that I thank God for it and then hit the pavement running. I forget to involve God in the rest of the process.
I am right there with you, Julie. I listen intently to hear what He has to say, then take off as soon as I get an answer. I am so thrilled that I got the answer, then off I go! I seldom stop to keep asking next step questions. I usually either end up going back and asking more questions later or I end up scratching my head, wondering where I messed up.
I never have felt without explanation until J started putting in for promotions and has been denied. I know God has a purpose in everything...I am just not seeing it yet. It is hard to stand by as a spouse struggles(he acts like he is not disappointed, but I know it has been at least slightly discouraging), I wish I could help....I wish we knew why....but I have faith that God is in control.
