Everything that comes to us is a blessing or a test. That's all you need to know in this lifeàjust the certainty that God's got His eye on you, that He knows what you are made of, what you need to grow on. Why,questioning's a sin, it's pointless. He will show you your path in His own good time. And long as I remember that, I'm fine.
("Bastard Out of Carolina")
