When We Don’t Understand

What do we do when the way we want to serve or be used by God does not line up with where he has us?  What do we do when what we want is a good thing, but it isn’t what we have been given? What do we do when the portion that God has given us feels like the “light portion” of the menu? 

I do not do well with unexplained things, especially when those things are happening to me…The “unexplained” has threatened to pick away at my sanity and peace bit by heart-sickening bit, and all manner of disillusioning questions and doubts try to fill up the explanation-shaped hole in my understanding.

When my husband, Aaron, and I got married, I moved to Germany in order for him to complete his college career. Moving to another country can be exciting, offering many new experiences. But with those experiences come challenges as well.
