Ask why

As part of a class I am taking we did a learning style survey, I have done these surveys before but this time I really came across something. I realized asking WHYis part of my personality .... it has really been an important question all my life. And through this survey I see finding purpose in everything is part of my personality.

I ask....
Why do I do what I do?
Why do I wake up on a Sunday morning and go to church?
Why do I care about people?
Why are we pastors?
Why should churches unit and work together?
Why am I teaching English?
Why do I write in this blog?
Why do I exist?

And I don't always settle with the pat answer.

I question it all and I like to find the purpose for living and exisisting in every situation. Sometimes I am sure I have irritated people .. sorry(but not too sorry). I have found it very freeing to ask. And you can't even imagine how freeing it has been to find out why I ask why so much LOL one question I have been asking of myself for ages.

I don't know the answer to all the why's but I will ask it till I die. I don't only ask why of myself but I do of others too, not in a judging kind of way but in a challenge to learn and grow.

I ask of you:
Why are you reading my blog?
Why do you care about me?
Why do you go to church every Sunday? Why don't you?
Why are you friends with who your friends with?
Why do you exist?

Sometimes the answer is simple and other times the answer is more complex or even impossible(for the time being) to know.

And by the way asking "Why do I/you exist?" for me is not a negative doubting we have purpose in life question ... I know there is an answer and I sincerely ask.

You don't have to answer me but think about it, and ask why?

celebrate

Where was I this evening?
I have exciting news for you! He's a boy a beautiful boy. One of the the women that arrived with our new arrivals this week was fully loaded with baby and now she has him in her arms - he is so cute and cute and really cute. I was there in the room when he was delivered. I gave birth to 3 children and now I saw the whole thing from a different side, wow, the miracle of a birth. Celebration in the street today.

Busy

Well if you hadn't noticed from my lack of time here I should tell you I am very busy right now I am hoping for a Sabbath real soon.
I have been helping arrange the details for these refugees that are arriving in 3 days. Plus doing an EAL course and teaching 2 nights a week and keeping time with my family and husband and all the other things I do. CRAZZZYYY life. I haven't had a real good devotional time in a month I think. I have spent a few minutes reading my bible and praying ... And praying throughout the day but I want to have some time again to just not care about time when I am with the King.

I Started memorizing Isaiah 53. Not sure if I should say it is going good or bad. I have the first verse memorized but it's taken me more than a week to do it. But I don't plan on giving up so I am still facing the right direction. It says " Who has believed our message and to whom has the arm of the lord been revealed. He grew up before him like a tender shoot a root out of dry ground." I hope to make it to the end of the passage someday.
