I know this probably doesn't make sense to anyone else but it is just how I look at it.

QE,
I think that sometimes we say we were out of the Will of God, but now I'm seeing that many times mistakes are what makes us a better person and clears out the cobwebs we have carried around. It's a refining process.
Really, I'm starting to believe that many times our judgment of people's trials make them harder than realizing they may have needed to go through that to break something in their life and go on with God - making them a useful vessel.
I saw myself being harder on my daughter when she was a teenager because the church expected perfection. I should have loved her more and allowed her to make those mistakes, not that I agreed, but there are some people that have to make them in order to know what it is they don't want.. She may have come out of them sooner.
