Gracious Ignorance?

Recently, I was reading a blog that discussed God’ graciousness to us in allowing us to be ignorant. Ignorant of all that the future holds. It was like a light came on. I have been struggling with the questions of why God would allow us to come into a situation that He knew would be difficult for us! Living here has been more difficult than I expected. It was hard to arrive here and not have any place to stay and no way to get our kids to school. It is harder than I expected to be surrounded constantly by so many people and so much noise. It was hard to walk into a job having been told you were responsible for 300 computers to find out that you are really responsible for 600 devises (computers/I-pods/I-pads/laptops) and you only get the amount of internet signal that one home in the US has for the whole school. It was hard to come to a new school with no orientation for either the kids or us, to walk the kids into their classrooms never having even met their teachers once and knowing they didn’t have one friend there. I wonder if I would have obeyed God’s call to come here knowing that all these things and much more would be facing me? Maybe it is gracious for God to leave us in ignorance when He is calling us to do something He knows will be hard for us.
