Reasons


Most people wonder why things happen, some do not. I can't imagine going through life never asking the question, "WHY?", can you? I always want to know the reason for everything. I am like that inquisitive 5 year old that won't stop asking, "Why is the sky blue?, Why do zebras have stripes instead of spots?".
Many people just accept things for what they are and never question it. I have always wanted to know why things happen.
I am a Bible believer so(hey, don't roll your eyes)I have read and believe that for every thing there is a time and a reason. There is a time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant and a time to harvest; a time to kill and a time to heal; a time to break down and a time to build up; a time to cry and a time to laugh; a time to mourn and a time to dance;.... you get the idea, right? Because of this third chapter of Ecclesiastes found in the Old Testament of the Bible I think that all things happen for some reason, and I want to know that reason. I have discovered that not all things are to be known, at least not at the time you wish to know them; but all things have a purpose just as all created things have a purpose, just as all people have a purpose. It's hard to find out what that purpose is sometimes but there is one, that I believe to be true.
It is very hard for me to accept that there are somethings I just won't ever understand, I hold on to hope that as my life continues and as I grow and develop that I will learn more and more of God's purpose for me and and explanation for the things I don't understand. The more I learn the more I find that I have YET to learn. So I am always looking for the reason for what happens, hoping to learn yet another life lesson. I will always ask why and as long as I live, I will learn more reasons I will find to keep asking "WHY?".
