This may be hard for Robbie to understand, but here's how I feel. Our understanding gets us into trouble when we try to figure out why and how God brings certain circumstances into our lives. We can never understand WHY and HOW God does something, but he wants us to eccept with our understanding that He does it. This is the basis of our praise. God wants us to understand that he loves us and that he has a plan for us. Their's something very special God saw in Robbie, and I feel he'll be used of God in a beautiful way. Tell Robbie that God chose him to be special because he's got something very wonderful instore for him. I hope I didn't overstep my bounds, but this is how I feel.
