God's Purpose

There are many days when I wonder what God's purpose was in allowing Ryan to die. It doesn't make sense and I ask "why" a lot. I miss Ryan, I miss our future and the fulfillment of our plans and dreams, I miss Lily and Wyatt having a daddy to play with.

One positive thing that has happened since Ryan has passed away is the strengthening of my faith. Each day I must cling to God and his promises because without that I would fall apart -- I have fallen apart on the days I have tried to do it on my own. I praise God that I am not doing this alone or in my own strength!

Psalm 62
5. Find rest, O my soul, in God alone;
my hope comes from him.
6. He alone is my rock and my salvation;
he is my fortress, I will not be shaken.
7. My salvation and my honor depend on God;
he is my mighty rock, my refuge.
8. Trust in him at all times, O people;
pour out your hearts to him,
for God is our refuge.

11. One thing God has spoken,
two things have I heard:
that you, O God, are strong,
12. and that you, O Lord, are loving.

Oh, how I wish I had "the wings of a dove--I would fly away and be at rest." Ps 55

WOW. I have been thinking this same thing about the Why's as far as Richard and I are concerned. He has been so miserable here lately and there isn't anything I can do to make it better. And last night I just really had a "Come to Jesus meeting"

Thanks for posting this scripture. It's just what I needed. Your continued Faith and strength through everything is an inspiration to me.
