The past couple days have been both good and bad. I am dealing with things that I don't understand and situations that seem awful.
There is a family in my church (I watch their kiddos) that are currently pretty much waiting for news of two family members death. One is a elderly grandmother, this one is much easier for me to swallow. The harder one is their sister-in-law who is dying of cancer, she's in her early 40s with two younger girls. I dug up an old prayer chain email that had this to say "Ron has always trusted the Lord and this situation is not an exception. Connie trusts Jesus as her Lord, her sin is forgiven and she will go to be with the Lord when she dies, this is cause for praise." I do praise the Lord for this and also pray for this family.
I also am in the midst of not understanding a couple other things. Last night I went with a friend to move her out of her parents house. She prepared me for the worst case scenario, which involved bringing my phone in and writing her address on my hand just in case a 911 call was needed (it was not). I don't understand that kind of anger.
In the middle of not understanding, I praise God for the thing that I understand the least; the righteous for the unrighteous.
Because the sinless savior died
My sinful soul is counted free.
For God the just is satisfied
To look on him and pardon me.
