I read a great quote today...
Christianity doesn’t deny the reality of suffering and evil...Our hope...is not based on the idea that we are going to be free of pain and suffering. Rather, it is based on the conviction that we will triumph over suffering.
Brennan Manning
Isn't that great? Our God never promised that a life of following Him would be without pain. But He DID promise to walk with us each step of the way as we journey thru trials and tribulations. If we no longer feel Him near, it's we who have pulled away. He'll never leave us or forsake us. I'm so thankful that Amy continues to walk WITH Him instead of away from Him. I'm thankful that when we cry out to Him, He hears our voice. And I'm thankful that His plan for our Amy is perfect...whether we understand it or not.
