Life is hard

My heart is heavy today with some things I've read and heard about from friends. I found out last night about another lady who had a miscarriage recently. My heart hurts for her hurt and the emotions she will be going through as she goes back to school and faces the real world. Today I found out about a man from my church who is fighting cancer and is at the end of his earthly life. Then there is another situation that I read about that is really weighing heavy on my heart. I won't go into details about it here. My mind just cannot fathom some people's choices or ways they rationalize situations. I cannot wrap my mind around such selfishness of humans. It just breaks my heart. I keep thinking what could I do to make it different?


I guess this is a down post. Sorry for that! As I put in the title, life is hard. Something that was said in our Bible study class last night was this: "When you can't answer why, ask what." What does God want me to do now?

We are trying to figure that out in our small group study. We're reading the book by CS Lewis "The Problem of Pain." It's a really good book but unfortunately we don't have all the answers yet. Why is there suffering if God love us so much?
