Your Question:
why did this have to happen
Answer:
The question of why something had to happen. As a pastor, I've had my fair share of dealing with difficult situations and trying to make sense of them. I've come to realize that many events, even those that seem random or chaotic, are often the result of a complex web of intentions and choices. In my own life, I've seen how the choices my family and I have made have led to certain outcomes. For instance, when we decided to move to this town, we knew it was a risk, but we believed it was the right decision for our family. And now, as a result of that choice, our son Joshua is able to play baseball with a great team and our daughter Rebecca is thriving in her school. These outcomes didn't just happen by chance; they were the result of our intentional decisions. When I look at the world around me, I see how human intentionality shapes the course of events. The Chicago Cubs' decision to trade for a certain player, for example, can have a significant impact on their season. Or, the choices made by the leaders of our church can affect the direction of our community. It's not always easy to see the connections between our choices and the outcomes, but as a pastor, I believe it's my job to help people understand the intentional nature of the world we live in.
