So many questions!

I am beginning to realize that I may never get the answers to my questions [[on this side of eternity]]...but I'm not going to stop asking them.

When I meet the Lord- face to face - I don't know if I will even want to ask my questions... Or maybe, just one look at His face will be enough to answer them all.

"Matchless in glory You are, Jesus! You strike wonder in every heart, Jesus!"

Or maybe, one look at His face will fill my heart with a million more questions...

Today I am asking many questions. Some that are laughable...and some that make my heart ache. I wonder how long did it take God to create every leaf that has ever existed? Just the blink of an eye..or did artists like Michaelangelo get their love of detail from God the creator? Did He spend hours on each one, choosing the colors & textures & shapes very carefully? Did He think about a specific branch on a certain tree that He wanted it to go on? Or was it all just random? I like to think He was very specific when He designed them... much like He was when He created each of us. Of course He could do it all in one second...but how much more beautiful that He would take the time for every one? ... I also wonder why there are so many orphans... this is one that makes me ache. I think about my Anna and how precious she is, and every smile & every tear and how I treasure the beauty of her being. Every time I make her bottle and I hold her and feed her...almost every time, I think about the babies in Africa that I held and loved for those 2 short weeks almost 2 years ago. My heart still breaks for them... that they don't have someone to love them and find the beauty that is hidden inside of them. I know God the Father is ever present and I know He loves them & treasures them & weeps over their suffering, but I can't help but wonder why? Why is there so much wealth in the world & so many hungry people? Why are there so many families who want babies & 12,500 abortions A DAY in the world?
