Trying to understand what you don't know

Some things we may never understand.

We can try, but we will never know all the facts and most of what we hear is gossip.

It stinks when you know there is a hidden meaning behind something and you don’t know what it means.

Or you might find out to late.

As a kid, often things are kept from you until later on in life. Sometimes we will pick up on these things and other times we won’t.

This still happens in adult hood.

There are things that happen all around us that we don’t know about and most likely never will.

Why I left Michigan and the situation I was in, few know about.

I had what felt like 100’s of people coming up to me and ask why I was leaving and all I would say is God called me to a different Church.

I am glad God intervenes the way he does.

Before I left Michigan I felt like I lost control of my life.

I was depressed, angry, suffered bad anxiety and the two things holding me up (My faith and my loving friends and families) were suffering from how I was doing.

The last place I wanted to be, I was at all the time, Church.

There are something’s we don’t understand or find out about till later.

The apostles were in this boat when Jesus told them this in Luke 18:31-33…

“We are going up to Jerusalem, and everything that is written by the prophets about the Son of Man will be fulfilled. He will be handed over to the Gentiles. They will mock him, insult him, spit on him, flog him and kill him. On the third he will rise again.”

It says in the next couple of verses, the disciples didn’t understand.

The meaning was hidden from them and they were confused.

Later they figured out what Jesus meant.

We hear the phrase, “Take it to the grave.”

There are something’s we will never know about.

Things that will make us wonder what’s going on.

Know this, even when we are lost and bad things happen.

There is still a God that oversees us and our worries.

I was in a low point when I was leaving Michigan.

But God led me to a better place, a place where I could heal recover and serve God and my family to the best of my abilities.

While we might not know what happened in past situations, we can leave it in the past and move on.

I thank God for helping me move on in my life.

Can you move on from the past?

Have a great day.
