So sorry I'm just now seeing your ...Dear Lynel,<br />So sorry I'm just now seeing your post. Thanks so much for writing. It hurts my soul to know that you are in such a heartbreaking situation. I don't blame you a bit for wondering why these things have to be happening to you. All I can say in response is that no matter what you go through, God loves you. That sounds like a dumb platitude but I truly believe it is true. No one can know what you're going through but you. . . and God, but my heart goes out to you. <br /><br />Why did this happen? I go back to my belief in the Fallen World. We are living in a Fallen World with disease and destruction around us, and unfortunately we are stuck here. But God's spirit is still here, he is still here, to give us strength and grace and mercy in spite of where we are. And i also believe that God turns every bad thing to good. Maybe we can't see how but he does. "All things work together for good" Romans 8:28. <br /><br />I picture our lives as a great big tapestry that is being woven, but we are looking at it from the bottom and all we see are the knots and missiing threads and strings and colors that dont' seem to go together. But when we get on the other side some day, we will look at our tapestry from the other side and we will see a beautiful picture, woven by the hand of God. <br /><br />I am so sorry for the pain you go through on a daily basis, Lynel, and will be praying for you and your family. In the meantime, don't give up on God or on your faith. He really is there, holding you in the palm of His hand. <br /><br />hugs, hugs, HUGS, <br />TessMisfitTessnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7810710237602833947.post-21180936539825758622010-06-24T09:58:44.462-07:002010-06-24T09:58:44.462-07:00Tess know how you feel, since i am taking care of...Tess know how you feel, since i am taking care of 2 disabled kids.

I'm a stubborn mule too, so I'm glad to hear from another one! ha!

I think you bring out some ...Very well thought out. I think you bring out some good points, good observations. These are things I've often thought but didn't know how to express in words. Do I wonder why things happen? Yes. Does it make me doubt the existence of God? No. Does it make me doubt his love for me or others who are hurting? No. But this could just be because I'm a stubborn mule too. I particularly like how you worded the part about man choosing his path and it being apart from God. Therefore, God is allowing us to go that way, even if it isn't a pleasant path. I promise I will not write a book this time. :) Thanks again for sharing this.Muddled Mawkishness and Murky Musingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05377621574257738657noreply@blogger.com
