I saw a quote today from C.S. Lewis that read, “We are not necessarily doubting that God will do the best for us; we are wondering how painful the best will turn out to be.” That reminded me of my thoughts over the past several years. I always knew God was along side us in our struggles, but it didn’t seem right to me that it all should have been so difficult and painful. During this past year since my mom’s death, part of what I have been working through is fearing God’s plan for the rest of my life. I know His ways are good. I know life is difficult and painful. It’s that painful part that I would rather not experience. At the same time, I do have faith that God works all things for my good and for the good of those around me.
I Found God today remembering to have faith through life’s painful moments.
Still Finding God 
CS Lewis’s quote is very much how I think at times. Our friend’s nephew was just diagnosed with brain cancer that is also in his spine. He just graduated from high school. 😢 I cannot imagine the pain and difficulty ahead. It’s like Toby Mac’s quote a few days ago – God will bring peace from the broken pieces. Enduring the pain and difficulties makes it hard to see beyond what is happening and how you will endure it. Again, I appreciate your writings!💜 Lori

Thank you for sharing that, Lori. Will keep him and the family in my prayers. We just don’t know what is around the corner. I try to hang onto the fact that suffering is in this world, but love transcends from here forward to eternity. Peace!
