Why do bad things ahppen to those you love?

What a weekend....
Becky Ede, a fellow school of ministry student from England, and I went to the country to cook for 30 people this weekend. We both learnt a lot and I think cooking for a dinner party might not seem so hard now....well actually that depends on what I would be cooking.
My weekend was somewhat eventful....
Last night I slipped on the tiles of the kitchen floor and on my descent I caught my side on the corner of the large metal table...fortunately it was not super sharp and so it did not cut me deep, but it badly grazed me. With God's grace I was able to have joy in the situation though.
So last night I only slept for 5 hours because things finished late and then I woke up really early.
Then comes breakfast time and I burnt my fingers on a frying pan, so I ran my hand under cold water for ages...and then when I took them out I felt sick and nearly passed out.
I can sort of laugh at the whole situation, but it is upsetting too.
The enemy totally wants me to question God at times like this, and so the challenge for me is trusting in God's loving faithfulness even when it hurts. Pray for me!

I wrote this earlier today...I think it sums up what was going round in my head

Why do bad things happen to those you love?
When you love us with fierce abandon why are we hurt?
How does your cloak cover me at times like this?
Where are you when I fall down and I am bruised?
Will you lift me to the heights and help me to believe in your unfailing love and compassion?
Heaven is my home.

Since writing that I feel much more aware of Papa God's comfort and I know he is helping me through, even though I don't understand why it happened.
