Verse of the day.

Romans 8:28
28We know that God works out everything for the good of those who love him. They are the people who are part of his plan.
I was teaching my 3-yr olds today and we had a discussion about why bad things happen to us. "If God really loved me, why do bad things happen to me?" was a question I was asked today. I had this verse in mind. Now I'm thinking I was asked it for a reason. God has a plan for us. It might not be our plan, but it's his plan and he's doing this because he loves us. Life might seem like it's falling apart at times but God is there and he wouldn't give us anything that we couldn't handle. Love you girls! I just thought I'd share this with y'all.

Re: Verse of the day.
I will have write this verse down!!
It is hard when you feel like your whole world is crumbling down, not to ask WHY? I know I'm guilty!
Though I've always believed that everything happens for a reason, and God would not give us more then what we can handle. Though in all honesty, some days I feel like I'm barely hanging on!
I know exactly how you feel. We'll make it through this together.
I am guilty of asking this question.
But I realized that if not me, it would only be somebody else. What makes YOU so special that it shouldn't happen to you. God isn't the only person that controls this world, the devil has some say it in too. But we also were given free choice by God.
My cousin was telling me about this book she was reading. And this man's little daughter got hit by a car or something and she died. And he asked God why me why me, why MY daughter? The book just basically puts it into perspective that God can't please everybody at once, he has to make choices on who goes at that time and who stays.
God also said "Am I only going to be able to do the things that you can understand?" I had no idea what it meant but my cousin put it into perspective for me "Am I going to be able to do the things that Mia can understand?"
No I can do soo much that Mia does not comprehend. Same with God, you don't know how it happened but it did. Because God is almighty and can do anything, sometimes he does stuff that we don't know how in the hell it happened, but it did!
I've asked this in my life more than once.
I was married to my best friend. We were together for 7 years. He left me for another woman 4 months into our marriage. I thought my life was over. We had been together since I was 15, I didn't know anything else. I honestly didn't know how I was going to go on.
::points to siggy::
Now I know exactly why that had to happen. If I wouldn't have gone through that low point in my life I would have never met DDs dad and would not have DD. She is absolutely worth everything I went through with XH and her father.
I have found myself asking again "why me". Why do I have to be a single parent and why does her dad not want to see her? Why do I struggle while her dad lives a life of luxury? Why is XH happily in a long term relationship and I'm still avoiding dating?
I know the answer is just as rewarding and looking back I'll be thankful for all the hard times.
you got it!!
