Trust

     This past week has been very difficult. Monday started off with the bad news a close friend’s wife was paralyzed and that another good friend’s sister’s baby died 10 hours after birth. This news came as quite a shock and was incredibly difficult to process. Then on tuesday I got very sick and have spent the past several days sleeping off the sickness.

     The few hours over the past few days I have spent awake have been filled with so much doubt. It has been so easy to question what I’m doing here or question why such crappy stuff happens in this world. It seems I'm in season of life where I am in the slow process of learning to trust the Lord even in the midst of such deep pain and unknown. 

      I don't know a lot but what I do know is that I serve a loving God and that this will be a season of growth, growth that will not be easy.
