Any one of those things is a lot to deal with on its own, let alone all of them at once. <br /><br />I hope you're not feeling guilty, however, when it comes to your place in this world. I firmly believe that God puts us where we are for a purpose. You're where you are now because He has a job for you to do in the place you are. Your job is different from hers, therefore, your lives are different.<br /><br />I'm not one of those people who just says, "If you have enough faith it will all go away." I believe God allows us to go through those tough times in order to bring us closer to Him. This is a tough time for your cousin, for your family, and for you. As hard as it is, try to remember that when this is all done, you (and hopefully others touched by it) will be closer to God because you'll have had to lean on Him. And I can tell you that through all the heartache I've ever experienced, the joy of knowing God more intimately was worth so much more than the pain that brought it. I'm sure you've read it before, but I'll leave you with one of my favorite verses during times of pain, Psalm 27:14. "Wait for the Lord. Be strong, and let your heart take courage. Yes, wait for the Lord." Keep us updated on you and your cousin!<br /><br />www.brittanyfichterwrites.com<br />brittanyfichterwrites@gmail.comAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10141390955274051698noreply@blogger.com
