Always learning

In life there are lots of things to learn. Some things are more fun to learn than others. Some things you can only learn by experience and some things you learn in a school setting.

Take math, useful but horrible! However, when will I, just a mom, have to figure out if train A is going 75 mph and train B is going 60 mph then blah, blah, blah blah......Any way. Grammar, more people should pay closer attention to their teachers in this subject! Especially now with texting and such. Do you think one day they (you know..."they"...whoever "they" are) will change probably to prolly or love to luv? Things to ponder.

Some of my favorite things to learn are spiritual. I love learning of a radical redemption. I love learning of answered prayer. I love learning of healing. I love learning of any and every way that God chooses to make Himself evident in our every day lives.
Sometimes God's answers are "loud" and clear. We know that we know that we know that He has spoken into our lives and we have an absolute clear direction. Other times His answer seems slow  in coming. And still sometimes, His answer is very soft and we wonder if it was really Him or just ourselves. I tend to go that route most of the time. It's a personal doubt thing. I'm working through it.
And then, sometimes, His answers, healing and restoration come in the form of people. People He has prepared ahead of time to do what is necessary to get us through a situation.
Sure, God could've totally healed Donny's broken leg with just a whisper, a touch, a glance, a thought. But if He did that, we wouldn't be able to show others that God's promises are true! He will never, NEVER leave us or forsake us. If He healed the leg right off, we wouldn't have the opportunity to tell people that if it weren't for God, we would be destroyed and devastated.
No, God, in His wisdom and love, used doctors to repair the damage and is using this whole situation to build in us a testimony of faith.

God is so good. Just sayin'.
