I don't know why...

This morning, I was thinking and reflecting back over my life.  So, please just bear with me.  There is so much that I still don't understand.  So many of my questions remain unanswered.  Why did God choose to create the earth from water and by water?  How did He know how much I love to drink cold water and how much I love the therapeutic value of being in and near water of every form (rain, snow, streams, rivers, lakes...and of course the sea)?   :)  Why does it sometimes take so long to receive answers?  Why does it seem I may never have answers?  Why does it seem to take forever plus 1 day to get to where we are?  I am so impatient...looking for those answers and "aha!" moments.

Well, here is my profound answer.  I don't know why.  How's that?  Then, I began reading in 2 Peter 3:  8-9.  Peter stresses one thing that he wants us to remember:  "With the Lord a day is like a thousand years and a thousand years are like a day.  The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise as some understand slowness.  He is patient with you..."  I am so thankful for God's patience and mercy.  I am so glad His thinking is not limited by time.  It is my thinking and my impatience that limits Him.  He just smiles and says, "However long it takes..."

Bottom line?  I want to know the Truth and for the Truth to set me free.  Why do I need to know this?  Well, I don't know why.  What I do know is that I want and need to be set free...just like that butterfly out there right now.
