believe in order that I may understand, for I believe for this
reason: that unless I believe, I cannot understand.
-- Anselm of Canterbury
Ok.I'm dizzy!
For me the path to understanding has been a life long one.
When I was a child, I believed as a child.
But as I've grown, I've learned that in order to know more, sometimes I just have to have faith even when I don't understand something.
Then the light comes on after I've taken a step out in faith.
It's kinda like when your kids are small and they jump off the side of a pool and totally trust you to catch them.
The first time or two it is hard for them to do, but then....
all of a sudden they are laughing and joyfully jumping into the pool knowing you will be there and catch them.
Now their head may go under for a short second, but it's ok because we pull them up and set them on the side for the next jump!
I have so wished that I was different and didn't have "our problem".
But God.........has shown me how to trust and have faith through all this.
The journey continues.........
