With every bad thing something good happens, right? I sometimes find that hard to believe. I struggle to see good when things are bleak. I look toward my faith to help me through those difficult to grasp moments and that's when my faith seems weakest. My sister got married last weekend, we had an amazing time. We love love love our new brother in law, we love our sister,we love North Carolina; such a good thing. So easy to see God's plan at work, so easy to be uplifted and thankful. But, yesterday, a friend of mine lost her much wanted, much loved baby and my heart ached (still aches) for her. So hard to see God's plan, so hard to be uplifted and thankful. I don't get it and yet I understand that it isn't mine to get.
So many other things are weighing heavy on my heart right now and I hope that one day I can look back on this time and say "Oh, now I get it"....but until then....
We, too, have had these problems and questions. I think heaven is filled with people slapping their foreheads saying, "Oh, that's what that was about!"
