Full of Questions

I've been told that I am a "processor". I process the information, pros and cons, before I make a decision - especially financial decisions. It took me several months to choose the car I finally bought. I'd like to say its because I'm so practical, but I think its got as much to do with confusion, doubt and fear as it does with pragmatism.

The song I chose this week seems to fit my questioning. "What If" by Nichole Nordeman presses the issue of doubt: Maybe Jesus was just a great man... BUT what if I'm wrong??? Certainly at points in my life, I've wondered if Christ was really, truly the Son of God. Like Thomas, I needed proof - something real and substantial. In my day-to-day life and in my spiritual life I've been afraid to just jump and close my eyes, knowing that His arms will hold me up.

As I face questions in the future, I will remember this song and allow my faith - in myself and in God - to shorten the processing time.

I feel better now for taking 7 months to decide on my last car purchase. Thanks for your thoughts.
