Was I Chosen for This Trial?

 

I am frustrated with a certain phrase I frequently hear about God. This phrase tries to bring peace, but in reality it brings heartache to hurting people.

“𝒀𝒐𝒖 𝒘𝒆𝒓𝒆 ‘𝒄𝒉𝒐𝒔𝒆𝒏’ 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒔 𝒕𝒓𝒊𝒂𝒍”

No…NO…NO! Where is the comfort in believing that I was chosen to bear heartache? That God chose me to birth and then lay my child down in a painful death.

I DO NOT question the sovereignty of GOD.

I do NOT question that he has the RIGHT to send things into my life.

I do BELIEVE that every trial I walk through can be used for his glory.

What I DO NOT believe is that he ‘CHOSE’ me to receive the trials. We live in a fallen world full of heartache. That is SIN. The trials come from the sin and the consequences of sin. Do not mistake that I said my sin caused Millie’s cancer OR that your sin caused your child to die. Not at all!

𝗝𝗲𝘀𝘂𝘀 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗠𝗮𝗻 𝗕𝗼𝗿𝗻 𝗕𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗱

“𝗡𝗼𝘄 𝗮𝘀 𝗝𝗲𝘀𝘂𝘀 𝘄𝗮𝘀 𝗽𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗯𝘆, 𝗛𝗲 𝘀𝗮𝘄 𝗮 𝗺𝗮𝗻 𝗯𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗯𝗶𝗿𝘁𝗵, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗛𝗶𝘀 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗰𝗶𝗽𝗹𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝘀𝗸𝗲𝗱 𝗛𝗶𝗺, “𝗥𝗮𝗯𝗯𝗶, 𝘄𝗵𝗼 𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗱, 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗺𝗮𝗻 𝗼𝗿 𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀, 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗮𝘀 𝗯𝗼𝗿𝗻 𝗯𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗱?” 𝗝𝗲𝘀𝘂𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝘀𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗱, “𝗡𝗲𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗺𝗮𝗻 𝗻𝗼𝗿 𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗱, 𝗯𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗵𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗱 𝘀𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗚𝗼𝗱 𝘄𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗯𝗲 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗽𝗹𝗮𝘆𝗲𝗱 𝗶𝗻 𝗵𝗶𝗺.”

- 𝗝𝗼𝗵𝗻 𝟵: 𝟭-𝟯

When sin entered the world, our bodies started to decay. We were no longer eternal beings. Every day brought us one step closer to death. Each generation takes us farther away from the perfect genes of Adam and Eve and leads us to the frailer bodies we are today.

“𝗧𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲, 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗮𝘀 𝘀𝗶𝗻 𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗺𝗮𝗻, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗱𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗵 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 𝘀𝗶𝗻, 𝘀𝗼 𝗮𝗹𝘀𝗼 𝗱𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗵 𝘄𝗮𝘀 𝗽𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗼 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗺𝗲𝗻, 𝗯𝗲𝗰𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗱.”

- 𝗥𝗼𝗺𝗮𝗻𝘀 𝟱:𝟭𝟮

Some will argue that in the book of Esther that scripture says she was ‘chosen’ for a trial.

“𝙁𝙤𝙧 𝙞𝙛 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙧𝙚𝙢𝙖𝙞𝙣 𝙨𝙞𝙡𝙚𝙣𝙩 𝙖𝙩 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙩𝙞𝙢𝙚, 𝙧𝙚𝙡𝙞𝙚𝙛 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙙𝙚𝙡𝙞𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙖𝙣𝙘𝙚 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙅𝙚𝙬𝙨 𝙬𝙞𝙡𝙡 𝙖𝙧𝙞𝙨𝙚 𝙛𝙧𝙤𝙢 𝙖𝙣𝙤𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧 𝙥𝙡𝙖𝙘𝙚, 𝙗𝙪𝙩 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙛𝙖𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧’𝙨 𝙛𝙖𝙢𝙞𝙡𝙮 𝙬𝙞𝙡𝙡 𝙥𝙚𝙧𝙞𝙨𝙝. 𝘼𝙣𝙙 𝙬𝙝𝙤 𝙠𝙣𝙤𝙬𝙨 𝙗𝙪𝙩 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙝𝙖𝙫𝙚 𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙚 𝙩𝙤 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙧𝙤𝙮𝙖𝙡 𝙥𝙤𝙨𝙞𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙨𝙪𝙘𝙝 𝙖 𝙩𝙞𝙢𝙚 𝙖𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙨?” - 𝙀𝙨𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧 4:14

I don’t read this passage to say that she was ‘CHOSEN’ rather that her uncle Mordecai was telling her that we do not know if you were placed in this position for this time, but if you do not use your position that God will raise up someone else to bring deliverance to the Jews. IF Esther were simply CHOSEN, then she would have no choice in the matter but to be the deliverer. Scripture is clear that she had to make a choice herself.

As the trials come and we respond by making the choice to lean on our Lord for support and guidance, our faith in his goodness deepens. Our faith then grows as we persevere. This matures us in our faith.

“𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝗶𝘁 𝗽𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗷𝗼𝘆, 𝗺𝘆 𝗯𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝘀, 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗮𝗹𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗺𝗮𝗻𝘆 𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗱𝘀, 𝗯𝗲𝗰𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘁𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗳𝗮𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗱𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗽𝘀 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲. 𝗔𝗹𝗹𝗼𝘄 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗶𝘀𝗵 𝗶𝘁𝘀 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸, 𝘀𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗺𝗮𝘆 𝗯𝗲 𝗺𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲𝘁𝗲, 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗻𝘆𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴.” - 𝗝𝗮𝗺𝗲𝘀 𝟭: 𝟮-𝟰

We can expect to have troubles in this less than perfect world. Scripture tells us:

“𝙄 𝙝𝙖𝙫𝙚 𝙩𝙤𝙡𝙙 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙨𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜𝙨, 𝙨𝙤 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙞𝙣 𝙢𝙚 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙢𝙖𝙮 𝙝𝙖𝙫𝙚 𝙥𝙚𝙖𝙘𝙚. 𝙄𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙬𝙤𝙧𝙡𝙙 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙬𝙞𝙡𝙡 𝙝𝙖𝙫𝙚 𝙩𝙧𝙤𝙪𝙗𝙡𝙚. 𝘽𝙪𝙩 𝙩𝙖𝙠𝙚 𝙝𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙩! 𝙄 𝙝𝙖𝙫𝙚 𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙬𝙤𝙧𝙡𝙙.” - 𝙅𝙤𝙝𝙣 16:33

But look at the end of that verse… TAKE HEART! Jesus has overcome the world. He is a loving and good GOD. He cares for us and our heartaches.

Please never tell someone walking through trauma that God chose them for this. There is nothing comforting about simply being a pawn that God placed here to bring trial and heartache into their life. Instead, there is great comfort in knowing that our Father in heaven LOVES us so much that he sent his son for our SALVATION!

𝗘𝘇𝗲𝗸𝗶𝗲𝗹 𝟯𝟰:𝟭𝟮 “𝗔𝘀 𝗮 𝘀𝗵𝗲𝗽𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗱 𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗸𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘀𝗰𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝘀𝗵𝗲𝗲𝗽 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝗵𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝗮𝗺𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝗹𝗼𝗰𝗸, 𝘀𝗼 𝗜 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗸 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗠𝘆 𝗳𝗹𝗼𝗰𝗸. 𝗜 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗰𝘂𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝘄𝗵𝗶𝗰𝗵 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝘀𝗰𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗼𝗻 𝗮 𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝗰𝗹𝗼𝘂𝗱𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗱𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀.”

***I am not a great Bible scholar. There are many people that will disagree with what I have written, and I understand that. There are people who do not believe that we get any choice in the matter. I do not see that in scripture and so I cannot write that. If you want to correct my thinking or believe you see something I do not, please private message me. I am always willing to pray over scripture to see if God will open my eyes to something I am overlooking. ***

Blessings sweet friends…

A Flash of Recognition

 Every once in a while it feels like I am living in a dream. As I pass by the photos of Millie on our wall, I reflect on how beautiful she was. I see her little green boots on the shelf. I hug her monkey and run my hand over pink blankie. I stop and wonder if all the memories of the past really reflect how our life was? Was there really a little girl named Millie? How can she truly be gone? I look at her pictures and the days they were taken seem so long ago. Things are fading—memories, smells, and sounds. Yet, in an instant, a flash of recognition will overtake me from a smell, a sight, a sound, or even just a longing for her. Yes, in a single breath it all comes rushing back to the present reality, often bringing tears with it.

The last two years have been brutal on us. It has done so much more to our family than taken our daughter. It has forever changed us—David and I are not the same people we were in May 2019 before we heard that dreaded word ‘Cancer’. It has also changed our children and our parents. It has both strengthened some of our friendships and damaged others. It has rearranged our lives in ways that we never considered. As I shared my heart tonight with a dear friend about how the things I used to think were so hard in life…those devastating problems I had ‘before’ diagnosis do not really seem all that hard now. She wisely pointed out that the things I learned from the other trials in my life, prepared me to walk through the fire of losing Millie.

So, while I can say I would never want this set of circumstances in my life—no, I would rather have my baby safely in my arms. I can also see how the trial of loss makes us stronger. It forces us to rely on God. It causes us to stick together more than ever before. It gives us a pinpoint focus on what we want in life. It is spurring us to have hard conversations, to seek tools to change what needs to be different, and to cherish the ordinary in our lives. It convicts us to be more intentional, faithful, and devoted to what we believe. Have we arrived at all of these things you might wonder? Of course not! But as God whispers to our hearts, it causes us to lean a little closer and listen a little longer. We both WANT to personally know the heart of God and be in his will for our lives. We WANT a dynamic marriage. We would love nothing more than for our children and grandchildren to love Jesus. We want to hear him say, ‘Well done my good and faithful servant.’ As said in Matt.25:23.

Can good things come from intense sorrow? I have to say, yes they can if your eyes lift to Jesus. It does not make loss easier, but it makes it survivable. Only in Jesus, the author and finisher of my faith, is that possible.

Dinner Time

 I need a plan…

A really big plan…

A plan that is fail proof…

Because reality is Cancer and Grief are still very much at work in our household.

Before cancer you would find us each evening with our children, gathered around the dinner table just after 6 pm. We had 5 chairs and two benches packed full of bodies. Daddy sat at the head of the table with his girls gathered around. Josh always sat to my left, with Millie and Little Man on my right. Our table was FULL…LOUD…LIVELY and we loved every (almost every) minute of it.

During cancer you would find a few gathered at the table for dinner. Maybe the babysitter and 2-3 kids. Josh moved to his own home, teens got drivers licenses, littles ate dinner without a mommy, daddy, or Millie. The menu was whatever showed up in our home from the generosity of others.

After cancer, as we walked into a life of grief, daddy returned to work and school went back into session. The teens went to a private school for the first time ever, an hour away. They joined sports that kept them out late in the evenings. Mommy and the remaining two little people were home for dinner alone… usually junk food, convenience food, fast and easy foods because mommy just can’t seem to find the cooking groove again. Grief does that to a person. It takes the things you think you can handle and proves to you that you can’t. It takes the things you are not good at (COOKING!) and makes you despise them. It makes you so tired and overwhelmed that you literally cannot do much more than the basics. It kicks you when you are down…hard!

So, I realize I need a plan…

I need to make a meal plan and then shop and then cook and then fight the fight to make the kids want to eat real food again.

We need to focus on killing the sugar monster and taming the carb demons that rage in neglected bodies. To offer healthy things that actually taste good. SJ commented, “Mama, it is just that nothing healthy tastes good!”

Today I am starting my list, focusing my thoughts, and trying again to commit to cooking my family meals in spite of grief. I will fight the feelings of overwhelmed, battle the comments of ‘YUCK”, and do the ‘right thing’ for the sake of my family.

I am taking this seriously as encouraged in Ecclesiastes 5. Not that I am making it a vow to God, rather I need to be a person of my word that follows through in the areas of life that only my family sees. I need to provide nourishment to them as a mother and wife.

See you just after six o’clock. Pull up a chair and say a little prayer for us…
