Questions

Soooo...The past few days I have been watching t.v.....talking with friends...reading news articles...and everywhere you look there is people in pain. Heartaches...death...overwhelming circumstances. Its everywhere! I begin to think if my friends...family..people I know are hurting this bad...who else is hurting right now? How many across the world? It hurts your brain!!!

When I think of these things..questions usually follow. Alot of the time its questions that I can answer..or questions which drive me to study and find answers. Some questions are so DUMB that I wonder why I cant just quit thinking about things sometimes.

Sooo....after I thought about all the pain and suffering in the world...it makes me wonder why an all knowing God would make this world. A question I am sure many have asked themselves. If God knows all.....Did he know Satan was to be? and did he know eve would eat from the tree and bring adam with her? If he knew....why create at all? Then is that where our free will comes into play? But at the same time...God knows what we are going to do right? Then how do we truly have free will at all?

See...this is where I stop and wonder why I think sooo much! I mean I grew up listening to sermons on all these things..and yet I still question. It makes me dig deeper..but you think I would quit it now. Like thinking about one person and what they are doing at the exact same time you are thinking about them??? That stuff keeps me up at night and drives me crazy!

Anyway...there is another one of my weird thoughts....I think my days are getting back to normal after all the things that went on the past few weeks. Thank you all for your prayers and support. We really appreciate all of you! Now I am off to see if I can sleep instead of think tonight!! lol

Dear Melody,
It's always good to question and look for answers. Just make sure you are looking in God's Word for the answers. Our opinions mean very little in light of what God tells us.

Ephesians 1:4-5 Always brings me comfort. I don't know all the "why's" or "what if's", but I do know from the Word that God loved me and chose me before I was ever thinking of Him!
