I've had questions, without answers
I've known sorrow, I have known pain
but there's one thing, that I'll cling to
You are faithful, Jesus You're true
when hope is lost, I'll call You saviour
when pain surrounds, I'll call You healer
when silence falls, You'll be the song within my heart
in the lone hour of my sorrow
through the darkest night of my soul
You surround me and sustain me
my defender, forevermore
when hope is lost, I'll call You saviour
when pain surrounds, I'll call You healer
when silence falls, You'll be the song within my heart
and I will praise You, I will praise You
when the tears fall, still I will sing to You
and I will praise You, Jesus praise You
through the suffering still I will sing
when hope is lost, I'll call You saviour
when pain surrounds, I'll call You healer
when silence falls, You'll be the song within my heart
oh yes, You are good to me
You've always been good to me
so trustworthy
when hope is lost, I'll call You saviour
when pain surrounds, I'll call You healer
when silence falls, You'll be the song within my heart
and I will praise You, and I will praise You
when the tears fall, still I will sing to You (I will sing to You)
I will praise You, Jesus praise You
through the suffering still I will sing
how faithful and true
sustain me through and through
You are hope and truth
You must bring a little water
You must bring a little water
in the lone hour of my sorrow
who springs never fail
be faithful and true
like...like a spring it never fails
you're my spring never fails
Sung by The Newsboys
I find this song devestatingly comforting, and yet it brings up all sorts of questions...IS God trustworthy? I'm certainly having trouble fully believing that at this moment. Does He never fail? I feel like He's failed me.
I miss my Mom.

My heart hurts for you and your pain.
I know you know God is faithful and right now it is hard to feel what you know.
May you find comfort and solace in Ryan, Jared and your baby.
Allison, my heart aches for you! I can't fathom the magnitude of your pain, but I will continue to pray for you. I hope you can find comfort in songs like that, and in the truths you've learned since your childhood. I know the day-to-day can't be easy.
I don't know what else to say, knowing nothing I say will make it better. Just know you're in my thoughts often.
Al, I know I have no idea what you're feeling really, but I do know that I've asked those same questions in the midst of the confusion of life and the wonderings of where God is in certain circumstances. Even in the midst of you losing your mom, I did a lot of yelling at God on your behalf because it's so hard to see that His love is unfailing and that He truly is trustworthy when He's allowed this to happen in your life. Thank you for always being so honest and real, and I hope you know how much you're loved and prayed for in the continuing grief of this all. I've missed you and am so glad to be seeing you on monday.
Always,
Joy
Very seldom in life do I question God "why"? Since your Mom passed, I think I have made up for all the times I could have asked. There are so many questions of "why" not just for me, but especially your Dad, you & Shaun and spouses and families. God doesn't make mistakes but I sure feel like second guessing Him. I have no clue the heartache, pain and loss you are feeling. My prayer is that you will find comfort in music and the precious memories of your Mom having devotions with you as you grew up. The scriptural message of God's saving grace that she taught you and your friends around you. You had a very special Mom. I don't know if you are ready yet, but a time will come when your Mom's journey of faith and her love for the unsaved and her longing to reach them will be a very comforting solace. At this point all I can say is there are many people still praying for you and hopefully that can be a comfort too.
Love & Prayers
