If you haven't read the cover article "An Angel in the Family" yet on NinetyAndNine.com, please take the time to do so. The article is a series of emails from a lady I admire very much, as her 17 year-old son was dying of Leukemia. The emails are tear jerking, but you can see the attitude of a true Christian. True Christianity is going with God even though nothing is going your way. Trusting Him even though the "whys" aren't answered and may never be. We should look to God for revelations and not explanations during these times.
"When you and I hurt deeply, what we really need is not an explanation from God but a revelation of God. We need to see how great God is; we need to recover our lost perspective on life. Things get out of proportion when we are suffering, and it takes a vision of something bigger than ourselves to get life's dimensions adjusted again."
