Quick story I wanted to share... *TW*

I felt compelled to share something with you guys this morning. I don’t know if you’re religious or not, I guess I am...kind of? Haha. But this post is religious and I certainly don’t want to offend anyone, it’s just something that has brought me a lot of comfort this week so I wanted to share it.
A friend of mine had a baby boy about 6 months ago, perfectly healthy in every way except he was born with a cleft lip/pallate. They didn’t know about it until he was born so she talks a lot about the mixture of joy and terror and heartbreak, which I know a lot of us can relate to.
She shares a lot about his life on Facebook, right now he has to wear this mouth piece that looks (and from what I understand, is) very uncomfortable if not painful. (But every picture she posts of him he has this big goofy smile behind that awful piece of plastic...another good lesson.)
Anyway, she wrote this beautiful story the other day about having to wake up her beautiful, milk-drunk baby to put that mouthpiece back in before she put him to bed. He was screaming and crying while she wrestled to get it back in, and she said the whole time (through her tears) she was saying to him “it’s okay, you’re okay, I’m so sorry, I know it hurts but this is for you, it’s good for you I promise, you need this...” and she realized that that is what God is, and always has been, saying to her. To us.
I’m honestly not very religious. Especially now because something I really struggle with is believing that this is all somehow a part of “the plan”...somebody sent me a song a few months ago (Thy Will) which was written after the singer had a miscarriage, and she says “I may never understand that my broken heart is a part of your plan” and that really hits home for me, I guess that’s where I am right now in trying to understand my life over the last two years.
But that image of God holding me while I cry in pain and saying to me “I’m so sorry, I know this hurts, but it’s good for you I promise, this is for you...” has brought me a lot of peace this week. So I wanted to share it with you, too.

@Worldtravler0522 I sing it almost every day for sure, I have to believe that there’s a reason this is happening, and I believe that God is good...so this has to be a good plan...right? Haha. Somebody told me this time is shaping me into the mother I will be one day...on the days when I can believe I am going to be a mother, that really helps!
