You will guide me with Your counsel, and afterward receive me to honor and glory.
—Psalm 73:24

We believe that God is inherently good and that He is also in control of our lives. Therefore, when tragedy strikes or loss occurs, we don’t understand why God does not prevent such things from happening to us and hurting us so badly.

Faced with tragic loss, often we become angry and ask, “If God is good and all-powerful, why does He allow bad things to happen to good people?” This question becomes a major issue when it is we, God’s own children, who are the ones suffering.

At such times, reasoning wants to scream out, “This makes no sense at all!” Over and over the question, “Why, God, why?” torments those who are grieving over losses in their life, just as it also tortures the lonely and the dejected. Excessive reasoning, trying to figure out things for which we will not be able to find an answer, torments and brings much confusion; but Proverbs 3:5-6 tells us that trust in the Lord brings assurance and direction: “Lean on, trust in, and be confident in the Lord with all your heart and mind and do not rely on your own insight or understanding. In all your ways know, recognize, and acknowledge Him, and He will direct and make straight and plain your paths.”
 
When we face a time of crisis in life, we need direction. These scriptures tell us that trusting God is the way to find that direction. Trust requires allowing some unanswered questions to be in your life!

No matter how badly you may be hurting from a loss or tragedy, the Holy Spirit can give you a deep peace that somehow everything will be all right. Being angry at God is useless because He is the only One Who can help.

How is everyone?

Ok, I saw the dr yesterday, I have a rotator cuff sprain in my right shoulder. He prescribed celebrex for the inflammation, and a series of shoulder exercises. He also said I could continue my regular workouts, with the exception of using 5 pound weights( for now) and only doing modified pushups, and nothing where I have to raise that arm over my head. He wants that muscle to heal and get stronger from the extra exercises he gave me.

He wasn’t too concerned about it, and no I won’t need any surgery. I am gonna follow his instructions to the T.

So I did my level one Jillian, and I will do my shoulder stuff tonite.

Did get alot of walking in last nite, so much I had leg cramps at bed, yikes!

Will try and read more blogs today, too.

Ok, off to check emails, love you all!
