I ask this question sometimes when I stop and think about all the things thats happened in my life. All those I know from a long time ago and those in present day as well.
I wonder why because I know me. I know the things I've done, seen and been over the years. It's not an impressive, more often embarassing, list in light of what others think of me and this is what makes me ask...why me?
How does an irrelavent housewife suddenly come to mean so much to some of those around her? How does a task like this come to someone like her?
Lately here on Gaia I've been seeing a lot of posts dealing with God. By both those who believe and disbelieve in him. For those who do not believe they wonder how someone gains faith in what they can't see. For those of us who believe, we wonder how they cannot.
I've always believed in God. Theres never been a doubt in my mind as to his existence. But for those on here who do not believe, I always try to see things from their perspective so I can better understand where they are coming from. To me it's better to know what they think and believe and why, than to condemn them for not believing.
But reading all the posts for and against got me to thinking about my own faith and the things thats directly impacted my life and strengthened that faith over the past few years. It's then that I realize I cannot ask, why. To do so is saying that God does not know what he is doing in seeing me as useful for his purpose. If I don't doubt his existence, how can I doubt his reasons for placing certain tasks for me to choose to do, or ignore?
This is where faith takes over and I have to just believe that he knows better whats coming down the road than I. Sometimes we don't always know why as things are happening. But I look forward to reaching the point where I will say, ahh, this is why.
