Where are you? We need your attention......

Dear God,

What is going on? We are told to go to school to further our education. We set our goals to attain higher degrees in order to achieve financial success. Steven Kazmierczak decided not only to interrupt the path of others who had set their goals and was working towards achieving them; he decided to affect the families, friends, fellow classmates and all of us who follow the sad news. Valentines Day will never be the same for many of those who witnessed such hatred or for those who lost their loved ones on that day.

My question today God is where are you? I have always believed that you know all things, see all things and there is nothing that you cannot do - so what happened? How can I feel safe sending my girls off to college? How many lives will this effect in those who are now afraid of going to college? We are told to put our trust in you and I believe that those students just felt safe - after all you wouldn't allow anything so horrendous happen to them - not on Valentines Day!

With all respect, why do you allow these things to happen over and over again? What are we to learn from this? We know that we cannot take life for granted. We all know that tomorrow is not promised. We can go on and on with all of the givens........ However, I am so distracted by all this as I look to you for answers. I just want to hear from you. You know my thoughts and my intentions - please Dear God - we need your attention - it's just too crazy!

Can we just experience a day of peace and love?
