Death and God’s will.....

Death is a terrible thing, this past weekend one of my best friends of many years lost her child Grace, after a month and a half battle in the hospital and being 2 months early the doctors and Grace fought as hard as they could but just had to let her go Saturday morning. The reason for this blog was that i was sitting in the memorial service overcome with emotion remembering when my mom passed away about 2 years ago and the pain it caued me and then the pastor said something that caught my attention. He said that it could not be God's will to take a little child from us. This cought my attention and immeditely the gears in my head started to turn, I was thinking; everything would make it seem like our loving a and gracious god wouldn't purposely take the little children away from us. Sitting there I was conflicted kind of upset at God for taking Grace, then as i was sitting there praying I felt a overwhelming sense of calm come over me and I understood. Who are we to question God's will, he has no concept of time, space or anything else for that matter he can litereally make anything happen, and sitting there with all those people who Loved and cared about my friend Chandra it dawned on me that even though the tone to the occasion was somber and even with all the pain everyone was feeling, there was still so much Love in the church that day it overshadowed the pain. Loosing some one close to you is a terrible thing but I again rememberd loosing my mother and thinking if i would have had that many people close to me and loving on me things would have been so much easier for me. Death is a funny thing it either brings people closer together or tears them apart and im so thankfull to God for the love and support that he has given Chandra and her husband Trevor, and that being said i feel that in this situation God's will is truly being done.
