Have you ever been…..
So confused as to why things happen when they do? I’ve gotta tell you today is one of those days when I just question everything around me. I’m a baptist and I have a big love of God. He’s my friend, my companion, My one true Father and the judge of my life.
Last year there were several deaths in my family and I was hoping that this year would be better. I got the call this morning saying that my cousin Doug had died from a stroke he suffered last Thursday. Also on Thursday my best Oklahoma friends mother had a stroke. I just left the hospital and it isn’t looking all that good. However, I’m not going to give up hope. Pat is a good woman and I will keep praying for her recovery.
How does he choose? There are so many criminals, killers, rapist on this planet, yet here lately he’s been taking alot of wonderful people.
Doug, lost his wife several years back and even after she died he stayed with her mother and took care of her. She died at the end of last year. Now he’s gone.
Pat, Lost my best friend( Lavonda) to cancer almost 5 years ago. Her husband has battled colon cancer and isn’t in the best health. She’s helped raise Vonda’s Daughter. She’s a good woman and now she’s battling for her life.
When things like this occur it makes me feel really selfish. You know here I’m worried about how my jeans fit and yet there are those out there fighting for their lives and loved ones having to let go. Normally I’d grab a bag of chips and ponder it all. This time though I’ve turned to you guys. Please keep these people in your prayers.

I was raised in the same way..as a Baptist. We had several deaths within our family during a short time span. Let me tell you what I have come to realize..God puts us on this Earth to complete whatever tasks He sets us with. That may be to witness to that one person when we are 25 or later in life when we are 85. It may be to turn a stranger onto the right path or just show someone a kindness they have never known in their life. I don’t believe God chooses in the way we think. We are sent with our destiny pre-planned. If we choose correctly, we get to go to Heaven when we are done. If not, well we know what happens then.
Before I start rambling, just take comfort in the fact that your friends & loved ones are in the best place they could ever be. All the pain they had here has gone away.They all did their time in hell on Earth,if you know what I mean.
They would want you to live your life in the best way possible. That means being healthy & happy. I dont believe its selfish to want those things. Take care hun.
So sorry. You and your loved ones are in my thoughts and prayers.
