I wanna know just what it looks like
What the answer's gonna be
I wanna grab hold of something
To give me some security
And know it's You I'm hearing
Gently helping me to see
When everything I've prayed for
Is not Your will for me

Sometimes yes, sometimes no
Sometimes that's the way it goes
-"Sometimes Yes, Sometimes No" by Jill Paquette

You know, sometimes things in life don't go as we have hoped
 that they will...most of the time, really.  I guess that is the beauty
in being a child of God...even when I know He could change things,
He doesn't...but it's not because He doesn't love me...on the contrary,
how would I learn to trust Him if He allowed me to have everything
that my heart desired?  He is a good and loving Father who really does
know what is best.  In the words of Peter the disciple, "Lord, to
whom shall we go?  You have the words of eternal life." (John 6:68)
 He is good, even when hope is disappointed...
and He gives us the strength and grace to get back up and keep
going.  What can I say other than I love HIm?  With everything I have.
