Well, Duh

Always, I am learning. Always God is teaching.

Just a few days ago, I was thinking about some possible future situations, praying and trying to "see" what God wanted. It was around that time that The Mr. said, you know, maybe it isn't hard and God would bless us if we choose that option.

Hmm. I hadn't thought of it that way. I was focused on the "bad" bits. You know, if we choose this, this thing will be hard, if we choose the other, this other thing will be difficult. Of course, I could see too, that there were great things in both situations. What I couldn't see was direction. More specifically a direct direction about what to do or not do.

I ended up deciding to not think about it any more. Genius, right? Well, sort of. It's all just what if-ing at this point anyway, and we're told not to worry about tomorrow. So, I did just that. I stopped thinking it over.

So last night The Mr. brought it up again. See, we just can't let it rest, even though we say we'll just wait to see what happens. We're such a bunch of human beings that way. Anyway, last night, he said, "What if it doesn't matter?"

Huh?

What if it doesn't matter which side we choose? Isn't God going to use us in either one? Aren't we going to be Christians in both settings? Wouldn't God continue to work in our lives regardless?

Duh.

Sometimes the most simple concepts are the most difficult to grasp. They are the ones most difficult to live out, even when we intellectually grasp them. We can internalize the theory all we like, but to live it out in live action in our everyday lives is a whole different game.
