So often in life I ask, “WHY?” (Romans 9:20) WHY did I have to go through this…? WHY did my friends turn their backs on me…? WHY is living sometimes SO hard…? WHY is it taking SO long to get an answer to my prayers…? Yet when I stop trying to figure it out with…

Have you ever gone to YouTube to look at one video and found yourself looking at a plethora of “kookoo for cocoa-puff” videos?
