Resting in the Shadow of the Cross
Sometimes we do not understand what is going on in our 
lives. We question everything, wondering why our world gets turned upside down, or in my case, comes to a skidding crash. Sometimes I asked God why He allowed me to be hurt like this out of curiosity, but never once have I been angry about it. I fully understand that God is working something out in my life. He is making me a teachable vessel wherewith He fills me with the ever living water, His Word. Through this situation, I have learned to love God more.

Great post. I fully agree. I have a bunch of health problems, but I don't blame God or get angry about them. Sure I hate that I have them, but I am working on improving my health and I know they're all part of his plan for me. I don't think I would be who I am without them. Everything happens for a reason. Even the bad stuff. I wish more people could understand this.
