I feel the whole “not fair” thing. I DO. I GET IT!
I was born in Canada and later got adopted in the US. That makes it hard for me to get a passport. It makes it REALLY hard to get new licenses or renew my global entry.
Every time I want to do one of those things, something comes up and I have all kinds of problems.
I have to prove WHO I AM, all over again! I have to prove that I’m not a terrorist. (Come on…look at me. Do I look like a terrorist?)
I’ve done this, already…like TWENTY TIMES since 911. It just doesn’t feel FAIR to me!
Why do UNFAIR things still happen to people who are trying their best to do right and follow Christ?
WHY? WHY? WHY?
Our God is a GOOD FATHER. He does NOT find pleasure in our pain. Nor, does He put problems or sickness on us to teach us a lesson.
It’s because we live in a world that the enemy still has access to. (For a time.) But, JESUS came and redeemed us from the curse!
It doesn’t mean that bad things won’t happen. It just means, as Christ followers, we have a WAY OUT.
When life doesn’t seem fair, we want God’s JUDGEMENT! But then, when it’s our turn…we only want His GRACE!
Trust God to handle this. Do not give that problem ANY of your future…it’s already taken enough of your TODAY.

We’ve been in a time of trial for awhile now, me having multiple surgeries, being unable to work, homelessness, my 12 year old having brain surgery, and many people judging without knowing our story. Everything is finally on the mend which I praise God for, we are nowhere near where we hope to be, but I know we are not alone.
Amen. My life story should have given me many reasons to hate God. As a child I believed and every day; I see how God has planned my life. he blessed me to see the possible from the impossible. He gave me my life from birth to now. Truly thankful and blessed beyond measure.
