Live the questions now

"...I would like to beg you dear Sir, as well as I can, to have patience with everything unresolved in your heart and to try to love the questions themselves as if they were locked rooms or books written in a very foreign language. Don't search for the answers, which could not be given to you now, because you would not be able to live them. And the point is to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps then, someday far in the future, you will gradually, without even noticing it, live your way into the answer."
-Rainer Maria Rilke

Being in yet another place where there seems to be no answers to my questions I am excited to hear that someone thinks that it is ok to “live the questions” instead of answering the questions. As I reflect over the last few years of my life, and the last four months specifically I have seen how I have “lived my way into the answers” -how God has answered prayer after prayer…most of the time when I have forgotten that I was even so worried about it the first place.

This week I have been able to see God do just that. I had forgotten how many questions I had about Latreia’s future…and on some random Tuesday in Alabama, we hear about non-profit status. I still have questions about the long road, and as questions about life after Latreia keep surfacing, I am more convinced then ever that this is where I am suppose to be today. I figure if I keep “living the questions”, soon I will live my way into some answers.
