This week, I've experienced how hard that can be. Last Thursday night, I stood before the ladies group at my church as the speaker at our monthly meeting. My topic was "Why Does God Allow Bad Things To Happen To His Children?" I told a personal story and at the end, gave several answers based on my own experience.
Tuesday was such a bad day, and yesterday wasn't much better. I found myself wondering why those bad things were happening to me, and I had to remind myself of the lesson I had given just a few days earlier. Honestly, all I want to do right now is sit around and mope and feel sorry for myself. But, maybe I'm being tested by God to see if I really believe what I taught. The last line of my lesson was: "Remember that God is always good and will not allow us to be tried without a reason." Now, I just need to apply that to what it is going on in my life this week.

you're doing great Suzanne - if you get the opportunity to listen to Matthew West's song "Strong Enough" - you will see that in our greatest "tests" of faith - we find out just how strong God KNOWS we are - and we are only as strong as we allow ourselves to be - I can do ALL THINGS... love and miss you much...
Beth, thank you for recommending that song. It is so powerful and appropriate right now. Love and miss you too!!
