I appreciace the thoughts in your blog very much, however. The "why" questions so easily surface. Even the psalmists in the Bible asked "why" questions. I like you, however,choose to trust that God does have a good plan behind it all. We may not and will not fully understand that plan in this life, but we will understand it all in eternity. The suffering also will be worth it all in eternity. Someone once said, "If God told us, 'Why," we wouldn't have to trust Him. It is in the hard times that we begin to grow in faith. I struggle with the negative emotions daily, but I am so thankful that I have my Lord and my faith to get me through it. Although I would never have chosen my current and recent set of circumstances, I have also seen good things come out of these circumstances. Derek,
