Everything happens for a reason...

I don't believe that everything happens for a reason.

I do believe that God brings reason to every thing.

<My husband> did not die so that I could glorify God through His strength.

God uses me for his glory inspite of the fact that <my husband> died.

I feel like life is a GPS system. It's programed, we make plans and detours but we are on our way to what we believe is a God given destination and then something horrible or even just inconvenient happens and we are thrown off course. Do we panic and now everything is ruined? Do we simple give up and stop heading to our destination or do we let God reprogram our GPS? God saw this change in my life course before I did. and He was ready and waiting to help me on my way.

People say, God doesn't give us more than we can handle. God does not GIVE us these hard times at all. This is life. Life sucks sometimes. Period. God gives us His peace and His strength so we can endure this life.
