Katie's prayer: MercyMe's "Homesick"

I love this song! It's in the top 25 of the most songs played on my itunes. (And after listening to it non-stop for a while for this, I'm sure it will be moving up.) The one line that ALWAYS sticks out to me, every time I hear it, is:

Help me Lord cause I don't understand your ways
But, even if you showed me, the hurt would be the same

I'm always trying to figure God out and trying to figure out God's plan for my life. Sometimes I wish it would be really easy, and we'd just get this book telling us roughly what's going to happen. I want to know! But then I begin to wonder, would knowing what's going to happen make it any less emotional? Would the knowledge that this person's going to break up with me make the pain any less? Would the knowledge that I'm going to get this job make the joy any more? Probably not. So then what's the point of finding out everything now? Satisfying my own curiosity? That will happen with time, and like I was talking about yesterday, sometimes unexpected is good.
