I was jolted awake by a text message from a friend; she told me that she lost her baby. My friend is 38 years old and had been trying to have a baby for eight years now. After two miscarriages, she saw a ray of hope because the baby was able to make it to the third trimester. The baby was almost nine months old. She was supposed to give birth via caesarean section because she had placenta previa.
I don't know what exactly happened to the baby. My friend said she will explain later, and I wouldn't have dared to ask because I cannot even begin to imagine the pain that she is suffering right now.
It just so unfortunate for her to be ecstatic about something that she would eventually lose so soon and unexpectedly. Sometimes I think that life is cruel. I don't understand why things like these have to happen.
Is GOD in control of everything? I don't know. Maybe He does if He chooses to take control.I do believe that he leaves some things to chance, and some to human will. Some people say that everything happens for a reason. I believe that GOD finds a reason for everything that happens. GOD does not always cause or allow anything to happen to cause something to happen. I believe that He usually lets things run their course. He just brings out the best of whatever happens.
However, I've forgotten how it is to have faith...
