Struggling with loads of laundry, clutter in the kitchen and chaos in your life? Stress can easily steal our joy. Trish Berg reminds us to simplify the small stuff and find Joy in the Journey. Today’s the age of information. You can pretty much Google anything online and the answer to your most pressing question is at your fingertips. Watching Little House on the Prairie re-suns and wonder how many other shows Michael Landon starred in? Google it. Hungry for a hearty meal, just google to find out where the best burger place. Wonder what time Los Tios closes? Goggle away. Even if you wondered how many “I’s” are actually in the word Mississippi, it’s all there for you to find in a nano-second. So I decided to see what the top Google searchers were and here goes. As of September 18th, the top searches include iTunes, Trent Richardson (thanks to the Browns), harvest moon, Survivor, national cheeseburger day and national talk like a pirate day. All the answers we need are there, if we simply Google it. But there are some questions that cannot be answered trough Google. I have given this a great deal of thought and have come up with ten questions Google will not answer for you. One. Why do we all want to be forgiven and yet we find it so difficult to forgive others? Two. Why is it so difficult to get children to want to go to bed at night and yet so impossible to get them out of bed in the morning? Three. Why do my appliances seem to collude with each other and all break down at the same time? Four. Why does summer always fly by so quickly? Five. How do I let my children grow up and become independent and still protect them from life’s hurts? Six. Why does it feel like we have a lump in our throat when our hearts get broken? Seven. Why do I feel like I am twenty-four on the inside but my body feels like I am sixty-four on the outside? Eight. Why did I walk uphill both ways when I went to school, and why was it always raining? Nine. Why do I always lose my temper when I am hurt and hurt when others lose their temper with me? Ten. Why doesn’t God shine a spotlight onto our path and shout directions in our ears when He wants us to move in a certain direction? I guess even Google doesn’t have all of the answers, even in the age of information. I might be able to find the best burger place on national cheeseburger day and how to spell Mississippi correctly, but I will never discover the real why’s of life on Google, no matter how hard I try or how great my key words may be. So where does that leave us? I guess life is full of more questions than answers, and it is a struggle each day to discover the answers we are seeking. Life is messy. Get over it. Life is hard. Learn to deal with it. Life is a contradiction most of the time and we are left to find our way down a bumpy path lined with what if’s and where to’s. Maybe instead of trusting Google, we can put our trust in God, who created us and loves us. Even in our questioning, if we can trust the One who does hold the answers, we can find a sense of peace. And maybe that’s all we can hope for. Avast and shiver me timbers. You might even discover your swashbuckling swagger and avoid walking the plank. Arrrrr. You gotta love Google.
