This week has been a roller coaster of emotions. One of my dearest childhood friends just lost her new newborn twin niece born too early (clintandrachelspencer.blogspot.com). I cannot imagine what those parents and families are going through. One of my dearest friends right now is struggling with getting pregnant and there are just so many questions. I know that she would make the best mom and I know God has a plan for her, I just hope she knows it soon. Other babies this week are having critical surgeries causing parents worry and a whirlwind of emotions.
I feel so selfish being pregnant with my third child. I have healthy children and I have never had to deal with any of these situations. I truly believe God has a plan behind everything that happens but weeks like this I really start questioning a lot and wanting a lot of answers. I hate that sometimes it is hard to see His plan and sometime we don't see it until 10 years down the road or a year from now. The wait is the hardest part and the healing. My prayers are with all of these families. I thank God for the health of my family and I do not ever want to take that for granted like I often do. I hope we can all be the friend we need to be.

That was a good post...right there with ya, and you're right; feeling it, is all part of healing.
Sweet post. I feel the same way.
You are a good friend...
Hey April... I totally understand the wanting of answers, and I've been there plenty of times before, but as of 'recently' (in the last 3-5 years) have been having a bit of a different reaction when faced with trials... I get excited!
When something goes wrong, or not like I've planned, in my life I think, "Wow... what IS going to happen then?" "What does God have in store for me?"
In some circumstances this may be Heaven... and I may not "see" anything till then. But since we're living on the "unseen" everyday anyway that's okay.
I think too of one of the most blessed men in the Bible... Job. He went through hell on earth, but then ended up with one of the best lives anyone could hope for!
Thanks for your prayers, April. These are tough times, but God is good. I keep telling myself that.
