"There are some tragedies that are too big for a heart to hold, and they defy any description that makes sense. Time weaves its way through the shock, the hurt, and the inexpressible feelings, and one day you discover that in the process of daily survival, you have instinctively made decisions (good & bad), defined your theology, formed an opinion about God, and determined that you will either curl up and die emotionally or you will choose life
The terrifying but truthful fact is that, in choosing life, you realize it will never match the kind of life that was in your carefully thought-out plan for your future. It will force you to view the people around you differently. The brokenness will challenge you to new levels of personal compassion. It will melt your pride, diminish the importance of your carefully designed agenda, and it has the potential to develop an unshakable faith that defies rationality."

Plunging in now...You are better...so much better...
Take it Lord...take what ever little is left...
Circumstances may appear to wreck
our lives and God's plans,
but God is not helpless among the ruins
