Yep Vanessa, that's what I always say "someday we will understand" but for now it makes no sense. At least not most of the time. The one thing I do know is that God did not give us cancer. Bad things do happen to good people BUT God doesn't cause it to happen. This is the world we live in with it's sin and all it's imperfections. Perfection and perfect love is waiting for us and that's what keeps me going. I know God knows and I know He feels our pain and I KNOW He cares. That alone, brings me much comfort.
When the questions come and my faith wavers I always concentrate on the one verse that carried me through it all (and still does) "For we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him and were called according to His purpose" Romans 8:28 He picks me up EVERYTIME.
Love to all,
Mary Jo
