WHY?!?!

I can't help but wonder...

Why does a 14-year-old and 6-year-old have to watch their mother's body be buried tomorrow?
Why does a 2-year-old have to suffer with a brain tumor?
Why did a hard-working man have to be laid off of his job after closing on his house the week before?

My list of why's are long these days...perhaps because the world we're living in just seems to be so chaotic. Right now I am wrestling with one really big WHY? I don't think it's wrong to ask God, "Why?"...it's probably wrong to get stuck on having to know the answer right away, or even ever. Some things will never be explained and will never make sense. What's important is knowing that regardless of the reasons, ultimately God has a better plan for our lives than we do.
