Strange Reminders

There are things in life that you make you go "Yeah, that was definitely God". Then there are things that make you ask "Where was God in all of this?" I know God has an ultimate plan and that he makes good things happen from really bad circumstances. This has been a rough week. Our good friends Ron and Nan Deal lost their precious 12 year old son yesterday. His passing has a lot of people asking "Where is God right now?" But the words that keep coming back to me are: The end of the story is not written yet. Frankly, I'm hanging my hat on that today. There is a blessing in the storm but I am struggling to find it. This news came among some other bad news recently but I am already beginning to see the blessings from that so I am certain there will be blessings from Connor's death. My prayers and my heart go out to the Deal's. I am reliving my brother's death all over again through their pain. Sometimes tragedy serves as a strange reminder of God's power.
