Anguish
I don't know what to say except that this is a really dark, dark time for Caroline. She had a full blown breakdown last night, sobbing and raging for a long time, crying out, "Why me!?" over and over again. Heartbreaking. The prospect of losing what is dearest to her, either from poor grades from so much missed school, or from denial by the doctors, is killing her. I regret not homeschooling her this year. I feel a lot of guilt over what I could have done that may have changed the course of this year. I am bewildered by the silence of God. Please pray for her not to lose hope or faith that God is good, that He loves her, that He will not always seemingly hide His face. I was reading the Psalms last night, struck by how many times the writers cried out to God in anguish, asking how long they would suffer, how long God would stay silent. I want her to experience the God of all comfort.
I am sorry your family is suffering. You are not alone.
ReplyDeleteoh this is completely breaking my heart... sweet girl. i am stepping up the prayers for friends for caroline, and for peace for the rest of you. it is so hard to watch our kids suffer, and really be powerless to help them. it may not feel true at all but God is with you. He will never ever leave you no matter what. it's so hard to feel that in those super dark hours though.
ReplyDeletecomforting words from one of our favorite singers:
nothing is wasted. in the hands of our redeemer NOTHING is wasted. every broken piece is gathered in the heart of Jesus and what's lost will be found again.from the ruins, from the ashes, beauty will rise. from the wreckage, from the darkness, Glory will shine. "nothing is wasted" by jason gray.
Thank you. Song after song on Klove today spoke the same truths. I so appreciate your words.
ReplyDeleteI am sorry. This is so heartbreaking. hugs and prayers to you both.
