In reply to Valerie. Oh Lord, why?! Those are the situations that have no answer from our perspective. And you are right. No words could possibly console in these early raw moments of pain. God's grace alone can reach into that mama's heart.

In reply to Sherri Paules. Oh, Sherri. That's a big "why". I can't imagine your pain. Hearing your testimony of turning your heart to the faithfulness of God, even when you don't know why He always does what He does, is beautiful. Blessings to you, sweet sister.

In our small town, two streets over from us, a 1 month old baby has died. His mama had been breast feeding him when she accidentally fell asleep and rolled over on top of him. This is a “Lord, Why?” question for me. The grief this poor mama is feeling is unexplainable. There are no words of condolences that will help in any way. Why Lord, Why?!?

My very best friend died in a horrible church van accident on February 21st. I have found myself asking God A LOT “WHY”. Non of it makes sense. Why now, why her, why the other youth group leader that died in the same accident. Why did He connect me to my Soulmate for only 12 months and 2 weeks. We both waited 43 and 44 years to meet each other and to only have her for 12 months is the reason I ask God “why” all the time. We were better together. But each time, I am brought back to…His plan is perfect. His ways are better then my ways. And yes….just like you said….He’s God!! I know God will make all things beautiful. Praise the Lord my Faith is founded in The Word of God. I know He is faithful to keep His promises. My HOPE is in HIM for sure but it does not take away my physical pain. I miss her insanely!! I ask God to use me any way He can as part of His purpose for all this. And praise God He has. He has given me a boldness to share the Gospel like never before because our days our numbered. Only God knows when He is going to call His children to heaven. And people need to be READY to meet Jesus face to face. We’re not promised tomorrow. I am so thankful for my amazing memories with my Bestie. We lived life to the fullest to say the least. One adventure after another!! I can’t wait to see her again in heaven. And praise God she is in heaven. She had a precious relationship with Jesus. She LOVED THE WORD OF GOD!!!! I can’t wait to worship our Savior “together”. That will by far be our most awesome adventure!!! Thank you so much for your post today. It truly blessed me.
