Life can be a bugger sometimes. We found out this past week that there is something wrong inside of Eva’s uterus that is causing her to bleed. Hopefully, it can be fixed with a procedure in which the doctor goes in through a vein in her leg and “blocks” whatever is causing the bleeding, but there is a chance she will need a hysterectomy.
When things like this happen, you wonder why. Why is this happening to someone so young, especially when she wants another child? Why do things like this happen at all? It would be so nice to have answers, but life doesn’t work that way. The longer I live, the more I see that life is full of trouble and you have to learn to trust God like a little child during the hard times. Questioning will only bring more trouble because we don’t know why and most of the time we can’t know why until we get to heaven.
In times like this, what comforts me the most is to remember that God has promised to work all things together for the good of them that love Him. He has promised and it is impossible for Him to break a promise. So I will look for the good in this. The most obvious thing is that they already have two little boys - the most precious little boys on the face of the earth (I’m not biased)! If this had happened five years ago, she might not have been able to have any children at all.
Another very good thing is that the doctor was wise enough to do some tests before assuming she needed to do a D&C, which we now know would have resulted in making the problem a lot worse. I praise God that they have insurance, when so many of my friends don’t, and that Kevin has a great, stable, secure job which allows him to take off to be with her in situations like this. I praise God that I am also able to take off work to go and help her through this.
Yes, this stinks and we don’t know why it happened but God is still God and He still loves her and is taking care of her and will walk through this with her. May He shine as we walk through this with Him.
