I have to remember often that I am not necessarily entitled to anything.

But God has us where we are for a reason, even if we don't know why at the moment.

Life isn't fair and God didn't promise to be fair but he did promise to be with us every step of the way. This is just the reminder that I needed today-- this week. I wish that I had this when I lost my son Miller, when I suffered my miscarriage, when I lost my beloved family members, and when I just simply suffered throughout life. You never cease to amaze me in your kind and Godly words-- THANK YOU for bringing this to my attention when I needed this the most.
