I can not begin to understand the grief and frustration you are experiencing, and will not pretend to try. But I hope you will consider something. God gives people to the opportunity to make choices, unfortunately that gift is wasted on so many and things like your nightmare happen.When it comes to God, it's what we make of his gifts and opportunities. Sadly, there is evil out there and people who do not respect anything, including precious life.

All my best to you,

Sarah

I'm so sorry Shantel for your loss.  I also struggle with this concept but I'm trying really hard to understand.  I lost my dad 2 weeks ago and he is the best man I know.  Again, I'm sorry.

I am a born again Christian and I have felt the same way that u do.  It is virtually impossible to understand why God would allow such tragedy.  The last 14 months have been a real test on me and my faith.  People have said the same things to me but one person said that this is what Satan wants you to think because that way, he knows he has you in his control.  Don't let the enemy win.  All of this pain and suffering we are going through has to be for something--- right?  Maybe God wants u to draw near to him and wait on his justice not man's justice.  Please understand that I know how you feel.  It SUCKS, I know.  All of my thoughts are with you just hang in there.    Kandi
