Sometimes I Wonder

Sometimes I wonder 

why I have been the places I have been 

and seen the things I have seen.

The more I think the more I see all the preparation He puts in me.

Although I don't understand everything 

I have faith that He does in fact know everything :)

 This quote from Linda K. Burton and this poem from Eliza M. Hickok
helped me see God truly knows better than me :)

"When the Lord’s timing conflicts with our own desires, trust that
there might be some preparatory experiences the Lord needs us to have
before our prayers are answered."

"I know not by what methods rare,
But this I know, God answers prayer.
I know that He has given His Word,
Which tells me prayer is always heard,
And will be answered, soon or late.
And so I pray and calmly wait.
I know not if the blessing sought
Will come in just the way I thought;
But leave my prayers with Him alone,
Whose will is wiser than my own,
Assured that He will grant my quest,
Or send some answer far more blest."
