Today I have a thought that I would like to share with my friends here at DS.  I have read some of the purpose driven life book ( good book).  One thing that I read always comes back into my mind when I suffer a hardship.Sometimes when something really bad happens we think to ourselves how could God let this happen.  Am I right?  When a young person dies.  When we keep having miscarriages.  When a disaster like 9/11 occurs.  We think that its horrible, right?  I read that God will do ANYTHING, ANYTHING AT ALL to get you to come back to him.  If your life keeps getting hit after hit like youre a target for bad things maybe you should consider that GOD is trying to tell you to come back to him.Sometimes I think that God wants me to cry out to him so badly that he makes these things happen so that I will see that I need him.  That I dont control this world he does and if I can just let go and give my problems to him he will take care of me.9/11 was HORRIBLE but New York city really came together.  I think God was saying to the city, to our country, to the world... Come back to me.   When an accident happens like a car wreck or a fire, I think it is awful, or even cancer takes someones life I think it is God saying to the rest of the world come back to me.  This is not where we are meant to be and I think that those that lose there lives like our babies or those who suffer in accidents are a symbol of what is to come and I know that they are happy in heaven with the Lord now.So no matter how bad things get remember that God wants you and that maybe he is trying to speak to you, he knows how to get into your heart and he will keep trying to break you until you just let go and give into him because he wants you so badly.Hope that makes sense, just something to think about :)

after our third miscarriage, i think i finally gave up and gave my faith and my trust to God. I really like the song \"I Praise You in this Storm\" by Casting Crowns. It makes sense to me. I really feel that in some way going through 3 MC has shown me that I don\'t control things in my life, God does, and now I have to leave it up to Him! Thanks for such a beautifully written journal!

I completely agree with you... Read my newest journal I just wrote about how I feel that my miscarriage was really a humbling experience.
