Faith and Taking Away

Hello friends. Sorry that it has been a while since I last posted. What a strange few weeks I have had. I've been travelling overseas on business, alone and disconnected from my world. Among other travel companions, I brought a bible with me which a friend gave me to read (for those following my story, the friend is the father of the twin boys who "led" me to all of this). Having little English speaking company and lots of free time on airplanes, I began to read the bible. I guess I could talk all day about what I read, but instead I need to highlight what was happening simultaneously. At the very same time, a very close someone to me got very sick while I was away. The next thing I knew, that someone was in the hospital and in grave danger. Strange that, being so far away and unable to return home early, I felt like there was nothing I could do but to begin praying for that someone. Suddenly, I needed badly to connect to God and to ask for his help. At the same time though I have been struggling in my search for God and have been fighting faith every step of the way. Is it possible that it is God's plan that this someone get sick while I was away, to leave me with nothing to turn to but Himself? To me it all sounds a bit crazy. Or is it? I really need guidance. You are not alone. Ben |
