I think that sometimes life is weird. I mean a couple of years ago a friend of mine was diagnosed with cancer. Now that is unfortunately that rare, but it never seems like it is something that can happen to someone who is close to you and younger than you. now she is dying.those four words bring a chill to the bone. As I called people last night to ask them to pray, many of them asked if she was a Christian. I answered yes she was and was greeted with, well that's good. I began to think about how those words can be so uncomforting. I mean, I know that when she dies she will be in heaven, but it still doesn't take away the hurt that SHE IS DYING!! How many times have I offered those words as comfort without realizing that they don't necessarily meet the need of the mourner? I can't be angry with God, I mean I have confidence that he will be glorified through this situation no matter what, but I wish I could ask him what His plan is. So anyway, if anybody reads this please keep my friends Berenika in your prayers.
