You can't always absorb everything at once

Sometimes I get frustrated because I can't know and can't understand everything at once. But then one day I was thinking about Eli eating. Right now all he can eat is mushy baby food. He's been working on teeth, but he still has nothing to really chew with. His food has no seasoning, because these plain flavors are still all new to him, and the seasons would probably just bother his tummy. Though this is true, it doesn't mean that Eli doesn't think he wants everything on all of our plates at dinner. Sometimes he gets mad because there really aren't a lot of things that he can feed himself right now.

Anyway, my point is, we are the same way. Heavenly Father wants to feed us the best things for us. Even though I want everything on the table right now, I'm not ready for it. On some topics I'm still barely able to handle drinking information like milk from a bottle without spitting it up. The more I learn about somethings the more I can understand, kind of like how Eli can move on to thicker more flavorful foods.

And just like I have a hard time telling Eli that he can't eat steak yet, Heavenly Father sometimes has a hard time explaining to me why I can't know somethings sometimes. It's just because He loves me enough to give me what I need and not what I think I want.
