There are things I wish I could write about.  There are things that are confusing and frustrating and painful and heartbreaking.  There are questions that I can’t ask, explanations that I can’t give, and circumstances that I can’t change.  There are things that have left me in stunned silence and there are hopes that have been permanently laid to rest.

I’m not good with hopeless situations that have no recourse.  Some people might actually think this particular situation has nothing to do with me, anyway, but my heart says otherwise.  In fact, it has sent my world spinning.  Trust that I have always been so hesitant to give has been shattered.  Faults have been made unforgivable and love has been made conditional and all that is in me wants to force confrontation to get answers, to get resolution.

But I know better.

So, I will stay silent and pray this isn’t forever.  And I will remind myself that despite all of the worst disappointments in life, I can be confident that God is guarding and keeping our lives for our good and His glory.
