Five year old little boys going in for their second open heart surgery.
12 year old faithful Golden Retriever put to sleep because he is so old and sick, and his grieving owners.
Firetrucks and ambulances parked at your neighbor's house with lights on, and leaving with one of your neighbors.
Best friend's separated by continents and oceans.
Jobs that both fulfill and cause so much heartache, simultaneously.
These are the things that have my heart hurting and my eyes wet with tears tonight. Sydney's favorite thing to say is "That's not fair!"and she's so right. There is so much hurt, and fear, and uncertainty just around the corner.
Instead, we cling to the promise of a risen savior. A savior that has experienced hurt and letdown. A savior who promises to love us through it all. I find comfort in knowing that God is the same God on my good days and my bad.
