Your welcome Xeneon,
When my daughter hit age three every day I was presented with a lot of what is that and "WHY". And I found it exhausting because to every answer I presented to a WHY there was still yet another WHY. And so I devised a way to allow her to ask a certain amount of WHY'S and then present an answer that could not be presented with yet another WHY.
It is human nature to continuously ask WHY and try to find ways to either SEE or FEEL or TOUCH or even HEAR the answers. We use our senses that relay messages to our brains to collect information and understand our environment and life itself.
When I had to answer the question, "WHAT IS AIR?" that was challenging because it is not something we can readily see. When I think about that question that Abaham asked God and his answer "I AM" I cant help think about the many answers I had to give too to a three year old and to be honest that question kept coming the whole time I raised my daughter and even comes today.
In my own life I have had many challenges and serious questions. I had to make a decision at one point when I had found out my alcoholic husband who had stopped drinking and was in recovery admitted to cheating on me. I also had a child that asked me if she was going to lose her mommy and daddy together family that she had always been so proud of and made her feel special. I didn't know what to do, what was best, and I could not seem to find an answer. I finally decided to bring the question right to god. I pulled into a church and asked to see a preist and present the question to him. Well, the poor man was completely overwhelmed and I really caught him off guard and he really didn't know what to say. That was when I realized that church is not the one place to find GOD. That is why JD's input about the Church and the Garage makes so much sense, especially to me.
So I had to look in a lot of different places, but one place that was important was in the feelings of my own child and what it meant to her. I finally made the decision to stay and try to give my daughter what she asked for and find the strength to somehow forgive my husband. It was a very challenging journey and did have a profound effect on me. But I did notice along the way there were little messages coming from different places that helped to guide me. And I had to learn how to listen and watch for these messages. I did pray a lot and every time I did I would find answers, often in the most unexpected places.
I am a middle aged woman and I have been through a lot in my life, many challenges that I had to find a way through. And it was very challenging and I tried my best and I am sure I made mistakes, but I did try. And I realize that for the rest of my life I am going to continue to ask WHY and HOW TO UNDERSTAND AND OVERCOME. And I also realize that every human being is going to do the same. If I can share any of the messages and wisdom and understanding I have gained, perhaps I am just another part of that big answer, "I AM", "I AM EVERYWHERE", "I AM IN YOU".
