You were so young....

Recently I have, sadly, been questioning my faith. College has changed me in so many ways. I question everything about life and why I am here. And the news that I recieved this morning didn't help me at all

Like My post, What a week

Hey All-is-on. I'm sorry to hear about your nephew. Your day makes my week look like a walk in Peninsula Park at midnight. Sorry had to throw a funny in there. But I truly am sorry. But always keep in mind that things happen for a reason. We don't always know the reason, and it may be a f-ed up reason, but it's still a reason. But I will pray for you and your family in hopes that you will recover from the loss quickly.
Love you Miss Lady

Allison,

I'm sorry and sad to hear about your nephew. My prayers are with you and your family. God will bring your family through this time, It hurts and it's confusing but God does see the bigger picture and he did it for a reason. He will use it got good and for His glory.

Two books helped me when my grandpa died,

Phillip Yancey's - "Where is God when it hurts?" is a not very theology heavy read, more applicable
C.S. Lewis's - "The Problem of Pain" - Heavy theological text... more philosophical.

I pray that God's spirit will comfort you during this valley.
