As Christians we are always asking why. Why do we notice when others ignore? Why do we care when others feel indifference? Why do we keep trying when quitting is easier? Why do we keep teaching when failure seems more common than any form of success? Why do we always come away from these challenges feeling defeated when our goal is winning? Why do we keep offering only to receive resistance?
The answer to this question came during our annual all school retreat. Our keynote speaker, a sister of mercy who spends a good deal of her life helping refugees, opened her presentation with the answer. We as Christians tackle life’s problems because “God Keeps Putting Them in Our Way?”
Believe it or not, sometimes, as Christians, we are able to break down the barriers. Sometimes are persistence pays off. Sometimes, even for just a few moments we feel a victory, an affirmation of God’s mysterious way.
If this is your first visit I would encourage you to start at the beginning. It's hard to understand anything without the beginning. - Calvin -
