I've been working on a rather silly project for Children's Literature for the past few days. For our project, we read the book Tuck Everlasting and had to come up with an interview with the author Natalie Babbitt. Lucky for us, there are lots of those on the interwebs.
One of the questions asked, "What do you want readers to remember about your books?"
Her response: "The questions without answers."
Even though she meant this in a completely secular context, I think its a beautiful picture of faith and one that has stayed on my heart the past few days. As a follow of Christ, I am called to trust in His amazing love, power, and plan for my life...essentially, I am trusting in all of those questions without answers.
Yes, I'm terrified. I'm terrified because I like answers. But at the end of the day, it really does come down to trust. I think God is really trying to heal my trust issues because I cannot tell you how many times this idea has been popping up all over the place.
So here's to the opening of my heart so that I learn how to trust again.
