Maybe it's NOT that complicated

The Foxy Mr and I had some good car time this weekend. Driving through the hills of Missouri we found ourselves analyzing, and well yes, critiquing some of God's creative work.

"It's crazy how complex everything is," I say. "I mean, consider how the body works, all the details and systems, the plants, and nature, and how everything works together. It's so complicated."

"Maybe it's not THAT complicated." he says to me after a couple of miles of silence. "Maybe our mind is just so limited that it seems complicated to us. Maybe you're looking at it wrong."

Of course.

I love simple truths. I often find myself looking at things wrong. I get overwhelmed easily and start to feel the pinch of stress when I think my calendar and clock are bossing me around. Praise Him that the things I see as complicated -- organizing my life, raising my kids, serving my family -- He sees as not that hard to handle.

Thank you, Father, that your ways are higher than mine. When I can't see past the visible, remind me you are more capable than anything I can imagine. It's NOT that complicated...for You.
