Janice,
I didn’t know you had a website – I read a few things and you do a great job.
Robin
If God loved the cardinal, why did He let it hit the car?
Your question is so valid.
We want God to keep everything rosy and perfect for ourselves. You are very concerned about the cardinal as I was. But God is seeing the world through a different set of eyes. His eyes are able to see beyond the tragedies and into eternity.
The cardinal is a bird, not human life. Cardinals die every day. God loves the cardinals, He made them. God notices when a bird dies and cares that it died for no aparent reason as happened when this one was struck by my car. But in the world He created, there is a food chain that makes use of everything, even if the bird didn’t die a natural death.
As the scripture says, we are worth so much more than the sparrows. (Matthew 10:28-31) God does intervene on our behalf though not always in the same way we ask. God looks at a much bigger picture than we are able to see though our eyes in the here and now. Sometimes God is using our troubles to re-shape our lives, to teach us new things, or simply to help us to re-focus our attention on Him.
And God sees past our world into Eternity. Once we are on the other side, our troubles will seem much smaller in comparison to how we see them now. After all, our lives are but a breath compared to the time we have in eternity. Look to Jesus during the troubles in your life and trust God with the big picture.
You have made a great case for Godly terrorism. God creates pain because He knows best! Screw the cardinal. Screw the child born with blood cancer. Screw the cripple and the lonely. God is causing all of it because He is a nice guy who doesn’t care so much about pain.
I am sorry you are so angry with God. He isn’t out to hurt people and cause pain and agony as you want to portray him. But he isn’t going to give us a sugar-coated life either. Man invited sin and evil into this world beginning with Adam and Eve. Life isn’t always fair. That is why we look forward to the life beyond where sin and pain is forever cast out. Jesus is willing to go through the pain with us as he demonstrated once and for all by dying in our place on the cross. And he is there to comfort us today even in the pain if we will but let him. Sometimes he heals us directly in this life, and sometimes he uses the pain to heal problems that are bigger than the pain. Other times he uses one person’s pain and his/her acceptance of it to minister to another person. We see through child-like eyes as we try to understand the ways of our heavenly Father. He made you and he loves you. Trust Him to do what is best for you in your life.
It is impossible to be angry with God. Just as it is impossible to be angry with Santa Claus, the Loch Ness Monster, and the Easter Bunny.
I disagree. Some are unable to acknowledge it, however. A lot of people are angry with God when they don’t get their way. And I’m sure there are many disappointed children each Christmas who think Santa didn’t give them their fair share.
Hi, Janice. It’s so difficult for many peopel to trust God with their pain. Lord, reveal yourself to manupmen, please. Tenderly bring her or him into your arms of love. Gently help manupmen to trust you.
Thanks, Janice, for dropping in to Write2Ignite!
I hope you’ll come back. And I sure hope to meet you face-to-face in February.
Blessings,
Jean Hall

I sent you an email. I could be interested.
I am in need of an illustrator to complete a children’s book. Do you take on other author projects?
Thank you for your review and response.
Sincere Regards,
Monica Wood
Thank you for your vote of confidence, but I am an illustrator in one medium only – applique quilting. I would not be interested in taking on other illustrating projects.
Monica,
There is a gal in my critique group who is an illustrator. YOu can find her on youtube.com Her name is T… H….. There’s another guy on there who plays guitar with the same name so search for her. I haven’t seen too much of her work but we live in Florida if that is important.
(Note: I removed the illustrator’s name to protect her privacy since she wasn’t the one who posted this.)
I encourage you to have her contact me if she is interested in drawing Bible story coloring pages for my Bible Quilts blog at http://biblequilts.com.
Janice, Loved your book about Creation …listened to your interview on Blogtalk radio. I thought I bought the book on your site for $3.98 but I didn’t see where to download it. Was it offered as an ebook or did I go to a different site. I do have a charge on my bank account from Smashwords for 3.98. Think you have any idea what I’m talking about or is this confusing to you, also.

I’m sorry you are having problems with the download. Be sure to scroll to the bottom of the page to find the file(s) you are looking for, and be sure to save the file to your computer once you download it if it doesn’t save automatically. Smashwords can be a bit confusing, but they control the sales and downloads.
Thanks Jean. I just made room reservations for Write2Ignite. I would really like to participate this year and get to know other Christian writers in the Carolinas who are writing for children. I also have a lot to learn about writing for children.
