My mind is usually home to random questions which often start with “how come…”
How come I can fall asleep?
How come the wind can sometimes blow through so gently and a second after so powerfully? How come each snowflake is so uniquely different from one another?
Those are examples of questions that would randomly pop up in my mind while loafing on my sofa or while admiring the beauty of the creation.
No matter how much I google things out or seek answers to knowing people, scientific explanations never managed to satisfy me so far.
Sometimes I’m not even interested in getting an answer to my ponderings because I always end up with the same conclusion:
It is possible only because of God. Because He is God.
He is ELOHIM, the great Creator.
THAT answer satisfies me. It is sweet to my soul, though it keeps all its mystery.
But that’s a mystery I want to dig a little deeper each passing day…
You know, there is one thing I promised to the Lord when I got accepted to the World Race in February: I’ll give my best to my company and honor them till the very last day of work. It means until the end of December. But life has been hectic since July because of work… It has been sucking out all of my time and energy because of a sudden increase of activity which is not going to stop anytime soon. Moments of rest have been scarce. Moments of peace have been way too short because I would soon let myself be overwhelmed by earthly matters, which left me hardly any time to get prepared for the World Race.
How come I’m already two thirds funded then?
How come my 2nd fundraising deadline ($ 10,000) has already been reached way ahead of time (December) without me doing anything?
How come I got unexpected generous gifts and help here and there?
Because He is God. He is YAHWEH JIREH, the one who provides.
How come God keep showering me with His unconditional love, when I don’t take much time to be in His presence in this hectic season?
How come His eyes keep seeing me as precious, when I keep doing the same mistake over and over again?
How come He fills my world with grace, when everything points out that I’m not worthy of it all?
Because He is God. He is EL ROI, the strong one who sees.
Because He is Love.
Because He is Yahweh-Raah (shepherd).
Because He is so much more…
Because my “How come…” questions find answers in Him.
Those past few months have been exhausting but I must admit that I didn’t always make the wisest choices to find the rest I needed. I know I still need to learn how to rest and dwell in God’s presence, and not just run to Him and run back to the busyness of life a second after.
In spite of my choices, He has been so good to me all this time. His grace truly amazes me!
I’m so grateful for His everlasting and extravagant love.
I’m so grateful for what He has been doing in my life…
I’m so grateful that He puts you in my life.
I wouldn’t be where I am right now without your prayers, your encouraging words and/or your financial support. Thanks to you I am one step closer to the dream God put in my heart.
Thank you so much!!! I’m not very good with words and I wish I could give you all a big hug to thank you instead!!!
Would you keep me in your prayers so I can discern God’s voice more and more and know what my priorities should be for the next 3 months before the World Race?
Thank you beautiful shining stars! Love you all!
