Have Faith.

These past three days have been crazy.. and not in a good way.
I have to remember that everything happens for a reason... I found out that one of my best friends from elementary passed away.. AND someone really close to me was diagnosed with cancer. I can't help but think about the family, and how hard it must be for them... I am having a hard time myself, and neither of them are MY daughter, mom, cousin, or niece, ect.... The saddest part for me is knowing that neither of their families know about the plan, or life after death, and that they will be able to see them again...(hoping to be able to use these hardships as a missionary opportunity) How hard that must be, having someone so close to you pass away, or the thought of them passing, and thinking that was the last time you will ever see them... I can't imagine the sadness that would accompany that thought.  I am trying my best right now to just be there for them... but all these things happening reminded me of when a friend asked me "How can there be a God, when so many bad things happen to people: cancer, murder, rape, ect."  I thought about this for a second and responded that we are here on earth to be tested, and to see how strong our faith is, and to even strengthen our own faith.  Everyone has hard times they go through in their life... even me, and sometimes I have the thought that I am being selfish thinking my life is so hard when other people are going through things that are so much worse then my own problems, the truth is though, they aren't.  I honestly believe that everyone has trials that THEY INDIVIDUALLY can handle.  For example: the person that has been diagnosed with cancer, I think that trial was given to them because our Heavenly Father KNEW that they would be able to handle it... In some way or another.. They would be okay, their family would be okay, no matter what the outcome is...  When maybe some other family would not be able to handle that. Never think that YOUR trial isn't as bad, or is worse than ANYONE elses.  You can handle what you can handle, and someone else can handle what they can.  Heavenly Father knows, He won't ever throw something at us that we won't be able to get through.  Have faith.
Please keep the Clark family in your prayers.. as well as "a friend of kylee's..." Thanks :)
