im very religious but i have had several times where i seriously questioned why God would let such pain happen to me. then id look around me and see people in even more pain and it would make me question more. however, ive discovered that God has plans for us, and needs us to grow. we cant grow if we arent faced with obstacles and challenges. its like muscles. in order to get stronger, you have to lift weight, which tears the muscles, then let them repair themselves. when they repair, they are stronger. and this continues until a baby is able to hold up its own head, or sit up, or draw a straight line with a pen. life hurts us and tears us down, but its only so we can be built back up. thats what i know
