Perspective

This past weekend a friend of Dave's lost their baby who is two weeks younger than Lily. In the moment that I found out, my heart just sank and the question of, "where are you God in all of this?" came rushing into my head. Doug, the father of baby Nolan called Dave daily, even after Nolan died to ask Dave how he was doing. What pain we are going through, as real as it is, seems so minor to the pain that Doug and Jenny must be going through.
Dave is doing better the last few days. He is going to be alright. I am praying that his mobility will come back in its entirety but as of this exact moment, everything but his hands are in working order.
Anyhow, we received an offer on our house. We have to take a loss on the house, but it is worth it since the burden of making a mortgage payment and a rent payment in Kalispell will be overwhelming soon enough. They will be required to do an inspection with a few days, so after that is finished, we will see if they still want the house. Lord willing, they will. Come to find out, Pastor Mike left our house last week because someone he knew had just lost their 3 year old son, and that couple is the one who wants to buy our home. I can not imagine losing a child.
I see these things that are positive in our situation and know that God HAS to be somewhere in all of it. But then I see Doug and Jenny and can't begin to imagine that God is anywhere in this situation.
Good night to anyone who reads this. May you know where God is in your life, because not being able to find Him is possibly the most discouraging part of the day.
