Goodness. I feel like no matter where I'm at in life,no matter what day it is,who I'm with,I will always have some worry. 95% it's not even anything major,and 100% of the time time it's nothing too big for God to handle.

What's been on my heart lately is cancer. Not just cancer in general,but childhood cancer. The things these poor children are going through,and how their friends and family feel must be indescribable.

I was talking with a friend about why God would allow it. The conclusion came to,what God does...doesn't have to make sense. Life makes no sense,God makes no sense,things don't have to make any bit of sense if you're trusting Him along the way.

I was reading Matthew 6 tonight,and verse 34 says,"If God cares so much for wildflowers that are bloom and burn in daily,He will certainly care for you. Why do you have so little faith?" This whole chapter was written to make you feel like an idiot,truly believe it. God cares about the stupidest little things in life because He made them,so do you think He doesn't feel the same about you?

There are millions of analogies to describe a million ideas based around "Christianity". My favorite talks about two farmers. One feels the need to grow a bountiful harvest,but doesn't care about properly going about it. So,when it comes time,he just throws his seeds on top of the earth and expects them to grow. The other,plans it all out and carefully takes a large plow and cuts the dirt deep before he plants his seeds. The first farmer is upset because his plants never grew. He didn't go through all the proper ways in order to grow all he needed. The second had extreme amounts of healthy produce because he tore open the earth and planted his seeds deep where they couldn't be washed away by rain or picked off the ground by birds.

The same idea goes for us. If you ever experience an extremely painful event in your life,it could very well be God plowing your heart,in a sense. Making sure this lesson is planted deep in you so that you can learn a lesson,or mature,or whatever it is He's trying to show you.

If He really does work all these horrible stories we hear about out for some good or glory,then He really does mean all things. That means death,heartache,pain...all things.
