TOO MUCH INFORMATION!!!!!!!

Have you ever had TOO MUCH INFORMATION!!! Last Sunday we were sitting down to eat after services and my brother in law walked in. ( Just a little side note, he's a pretty cool guy and my little Hannah talks about her "unka Demar" ALL THE TIME!!!) Anywho...he came in and I remembered that he had been working on his car and I asked him how it was going and if he had been able to fix his car yet. Little did I know that I was about to get TOO MUCH INFORMATION!!! He started to talk about fixing the AC and then I think he moved on to talking about the radiator and something that had a hole in it.... and then I zoned out. It was like the stuff he was saying just could NOT compute. He was going into detail about car parts and what they do and how they work and...well...I am a girl. All I know about cars is if they look cute. I was sitting there trying to keep up, and my brain was starting to hurt!

Thankfully my sister in law came to my rescue! (thanks Brooke!) She told me it had become one thing after another, and that he was frustrated, but getting closer to being done... and that was all the info I needed! It was kinda funny and I felt bad for zoning out, but my brain could not take it in.

Yesterday I was reading in Acts and came across a verse where Jesus had risen from the dead and had come back and spent 40 days with his disciples teaching them and at one point the disciples asked him when the new Jerusalem was going to come. Seems like a fair question to me. I would ask it too!!! And here is Jesus' answer to them.

It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power. Acts 1:7

WOW that hit my heart and I could not stop thinking about that statement. It is not for me to know!! I have had my questions through the years. The biggest one being "when am I gonna get to be a mama!?" It took a LOOONNNGGG time to get to be a mama. So many times I have asked "when Lord?" and it all comes down to "His Timing". It is not for me to know when everything will happen...that would be TOO MUCH INFORMATION!

I think about my boy and and girl. They are little still and need simple answers to their questions. When they ask about how the watermelons in the garden are growing, I do not spend the next two hours talking to them about photosynthesis, and how the energy from the sun is used by the plant and how that the water travels through the stem. They would "ZONE ME OUT" and go play. It would be too much information! So I simply say, God is making it grow. And they are fine with that!

I think I am the same. God knows I am not capable of understanding His ways and His timing. So that is for Him to know and ME to wait and see!!! And what a wonderful blessing it is to "wait and see". I waited for the right man...and got him. I waited for children and got two perfect little babies to love and care for!!! God is so good! And I am glad that I don't have to understand it, all I have to do is leave to God and KNOW it will work out! There are still things I am waiting for, but scriptures like this one, make the waiting a little easier!

So just sit back Rebekah, and let God do the thinking! You are ALWAYS better off that way!!
