Why

Have you ever questioned why God lets things happen to people? Why He allows such awful pain in his children's lives? I wonder that from time to time. And this morning is no exception. This morning I watched a slideshow of pictures of Kate McRae and her family. These pictures were taken this past weekend by a photographer that flew from Texas to Arizona just to photograph Kate and her family. Her story has touched so many lives. This photographer is a cancer survivor so she understood everything that Kate and her family is going through. As I watched the slideshow and sobbed like a baby, I cried out to God to heal Kate. I have cried out that prayer to him for months now on Kate's behalf and I still choose to believe that He is able to heal her and that He will. But it still doesn't make it any easier to swallow that she is having to suffer like that at only five years old. She is starting her third round of chemo and it is supposed to be a really harsh round, but at least now we now that the chemo is working. The tumor is shrinking and God is still in control!
So I continue to trust Him. Not because of the circumstances, but because of His Character! I don't have to know the answers to my questions. I just need to know Who is able to answer them. Even if I may never know those answers until I see his face in heaven one day.
