As a child my mom told me repeatedly that she whipped us because she loved us, then I never could wrap my mind around that, now as a mom I understand. Now as an adult people say God does things for reason,he has a plan cause he loves us so much, but now I find myself questioning that because he took a part of us when he took my brother, leaving us with an emptiness that brings unbearable hurt and pain. Now I ask myself when will we make sense of this or understand.
