Feeling the burden of the world today.
Wondering... why?
Why are there so many hungry children?
Why are there so many broken homes?
Why do people kill?
Why so much hatred?
Why do people have to die?
Why do people move away?
Why do we grow up?
Why do people change?
Why do things change at all?
I know the answers to most of these questions... I'm not naive. I know why.. There is sin in this world... and others are just part of God's perfect plan. I wonder why still.. Sometimes I just want to stop. I just want to think... and wonder. For the sin of this world has corrupted each one of us somehow. But there is something more than this world. There is only one source of true life. And I am reminded again.
"I prayed to the LORD, and he answered me, freeing me from all my fears. Those who look to him for help will be radiant with joy; no shadow of shame will darken their faces." Psalm 34: 4-5
He is our hope. Our life. Our joy.

THAT is sooooo true.
I am continually sharing with people who don;t know or understand the perfect will of God, that we are a fallen world and sometimes with sin and free will comes pain and suffering.
It's something my girls are learning right now....
they just had a classmate who's dad died last weekend. Having to explain that to them was weird.
i forgot to mention that having to explain it was weird, but clarifying that in Christ we have hope.
I tell them that no matter what the world throws at us, our God will always be there with us and give us the strength to get through it!
