Sometimes I think God is testing my faith. Other times it feels intact, like it is a part of me that can't be taken away. I guess it is true that we aren't really ever alone, but I also can't tolerate the thought of God watching while I was abused and doing nothing. I'd rather think he stepped out of the room for a minute or two.
I used to believe and smugly say, "everything happens for a reason." I no longer believe that. I think random crummy things happen and we can make meaning from them, but there is no inherent purpose to tragedy.
It doesn't help to ask WHY - but I keep asking it anyway. And you are completely right - minute by minute is the only way sometimes to survive the load. Thanks for reminding me.
