Yet, by trusing Him, so much good has grown out of the situation. Little miracles such as no side effects from the radiation. The blessing of so many people supporting our family. It came in a formative stage of my life and God used the experience to grow me closer to Him, and help me mature in a big way. The growth and good far outweighs the bad and my family would not be same without the experience.<br />With each new situation that arises it can still be a struggle to trust God, but knowing of His faithfulness and power to work all things together for good, reminds me to trust.Emnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-405673979105616163.post-83174138484905203992011-02-03T20:22:33.578-05:002011-02-03T20:22:33.578-05:00Oh Sarah, that's heartbreaking.

But, I see things differently in light of eternity. Every time I turn around, unfathomable good comes, even if I don't see it, even if it's years later, even if I won't realize it 'till heaven. In having gone through such great suffering myself, I am able to truly reach out to those that are hurting. <br /> I'm able to look at life as an adventure. Knowing that just like every good storybook, with all its tragic rainy times and all its sunny mountaintops, it's all working together for the happily ever after.Sunshinenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-405673979105616163.post-34314458234218951172011-02-03T18:42:56.847-05:002011-02-03T18:42:56.847-05:00Sarah… I am really speechless and do not know what...Sarah… I am really speechless and do not know what to say. :'(Alex Perrierhttp://LABcrab.infonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-405673979105616163.post-39655548177839023842011-02-03T16:23:55.553-05:002011-02-03T16:23:55.553-05:00About a year and a half ago someone in my church c...About a year and a half ago someone in my church committed suicide. Sometimes it's still hard to understand why God allowed it to happen, but someday we'll know the reason.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17834738113583086156noreply@blogger.com
