One of the most annoying things my 3-year-old daughter asks me when I tell her to do something she wants to wriggle out of is, "But, how?" I realize that that is a question I often ask God. I want to know and follow God's will, and when He shows me at times, I ask, "But, how?" I wonder if He gets annoyed with me, too. God seemed to be speaking to me this past Holy Week.
