Meeting God at the Crossroads of Pain

Serious illness, a sudden death in the family, loss of a job, or a tragic end to a relationship… things that effectively bring “life as we know it” to an abrupt stop. With the natural flood of emotions, comes fear, doubt, and anger. We face a crossroad where, going on as before, is no longer an option…and we must decide what road to take. Can we prepare ourselves for these inevitable moments? What can we do now, that will help us stay strong in our faith?
