On Purpose

I read an excerpt from Rick Warren's The Purpose Driven Life that has really stuck with me:

"God prescribed every single detail of your body. He deliberately chose your race, the color of your skin, your hair, and every other feature. He custom-made your body just the way he wanted it. He also determined the natural talents you would possess and the uniqueness of your personality. The Bible says, "You (God) know me inside and out, you know every bone in my body; You know exactly how I was made, bit by bit, how I was sculpted from nothing into something."

"So regardless of the circumstances of your birth, you can celebrate the fact that God created you to be you. God never does anything accidentally, and he never makes mistakes. He has a reason for everything he creates. Every plant and every animal was planned by God for a purpose, and every person was designed with a purpose in mind, too."

This is comforting to me, because even though I am so sad, hurt and angry that my sweet baby was born with FH, I do believe that it happened for a reason. I pray that one day I will understand what that reason is.
