Praises

God always answers my prayers.

I struggle with why bad things happen to good people. This life is unfair. Why do good men die young? Why do bad men live longer to abuse their families? Why do good families suffer so much loss from tragedy and cancer? All these questions and more leave my heart aching daily. It takes every ounce of my strength to keep from crying on Sunday mornings when there are new announcements about the Cotham family. Young Jeremy with leukemia and mom with breast cancer. How is this ok?

I miss Kenny today. My heart is still broken for those young children.

In spite of all of this, God answers prayers. He is present and listening. He does not promise life to be easy or pain free. He does promise to be faithful. I spend a lot of time praying for certain things. Sometimes it rakes a while to get an answer. Sometimes it's immediate. This certain prayer was answered yesterday. I have been praying for this thing for over a year now. Praise God for yesterday. I am praying another prayer now. I know God us taking his time with this one. His timing is more perfect than mine. I have complete trust and faith. My God loves and adores me. He wants my life to be extraordinary. The patience and pain are what make it that.
