Life is a mystery

Cleaning two cars in 98 degree weather and 100% humidity is frustrating. Sweat dripping down your face every second is really attractive to your spouse. But the afternoon brought great delight with a ice mocha from the Frothy Monkey. Ahhhhh!
Chris and I started off with shaky conversation going no where until I opened a can of worms. We started talking about the difference between Penicostal and Presbyterian. Then it lead somewhere deeper.

I have been debating whether or not to blog about personal things that God is working on in our lives. But I feel like this will be a healing processes for me and encouraging to others. So here is goes...

I often question God, "Why have you chosen Chris and I to go through this? I also question, "why have you given us a life of struggle from the day we were married; no honeymoon, cars breaking down, job loss, another car breaking down, job loss.... Why can't we just be blissful and have great jobs, travel, have children, purchase a home, etc...." Then in all the questioning we make the crazy decision to move 900 miles away to Nashville, TN just when we were presented with two great financially stable jobs and a future heading in a providing direction. I stop there and think. I question again, "God what now? Have we made the wrong decision?"

I continue to tell Chris, "I know it's not my place to judge other couples, other individual people but sometimes I wonder why aren't others going through struggles (to my knowledge- or so it seems) or why doesn't God give them character building situations?" I have yet to get an answer. OR maybe I haven't gotten the answer I want to hear. The truth is, I can't judge them. It's not my place to figure out their situation. God was given us this whale (situation). For whatever reason he has put us in this whale, I will someday find out and look back and thank God for ALL of it.

We appreciate everyone genuinely praying for us.
