I did this for the scrapfaith challenge after I found out one of my friends, who has been trying to become a parent for years, just lost her baby and nearly died herself if they hadn't rushed her into emergency surgery. The quote just touches my heart when it comes to things that are just too hard to understand why it happens.
Journaling: There are so many things about this world I may never understand; there's so much pain and hurting. I don't understand why humans waste so much time and energy trying to destroy each other over petty differences. Countries are torn apart by conflict and war for years, and the new generation is taught to hate, perpetuating the cycle. I don't know why so many families across the globe go hungry every day. Our nation has the resources to send a man to the moon and yet we have children within our borders who will not have a meal today. I can never fully comprehend why I know so many loving couples desperate for a child who will never be blessed to be parents, while there are millions of abandoned and abused babies throughout all nations of the world. I'm baffled by the abuse, perversion, and hate some adults inflict upon the innocent. Illnesses run rampant throughout our society from the teenager who takes his own life in desperation to the young mother who dies of cancer.

I have never felt the pains of extreme poverty. I have never had to burry a child. I have never come home wondering if my family will have been dragged away. I have never been physically harmed because of my skin color, family background, or religious views. Yet I know there are many of my brothers and sisters around the world who experience these realities every day and other atrocities I cannot even fathom. And just when it seems my heart is so heavy I can't go on, I remember, "I believe in the sun even when it isn't shining. I believe in love even when I am alone. I believe in God even when He is silent."
