Today I am having a really hard time understanding God's plans. I recognize the bigger picture, but it still bothers me the way that God tests the faith of his followers through trials, troubles and death. Then there are those who seem to skate through life untouched by hardship. It's not fair to me that Christians are constantly having their faith tested. I realize that in the end we will be rewarded with Heaven, the ultimate reward, but right here and now it's still a tough pill to swallow. I realize that these feelings are just part of my faith being tested, but I am ready for the tests to be over with. I need to stop my pity party because there are many who have suffered worse hardships than me, but I am ready for some sunshine and the storms to stop.
On that note, today I will pray for my understanding and faith, but also for the Dowdy/Herro families as today they begin packing up all of Liz', Fischer and Ben's earthly possessions. I know whatever pain I am feeling is just a fraction of what they are going through.
