Why? It's such a basic question- but in some situations there is no good answer. I have been faced with so many "whys" lately. In not only my own life, but in the lives of the girls around me...

Why do we invest so much of our hearts in that new guy, just to get hurt again?
Why do we look in the mirror, and not see the beauty, but see ugliness?
Why do we think so poorly of ourselves that we stop eating or form some other horrible habit?
Why do we yearn for our parent's love and approval so badly, that we beat ourselves up over it?
Why do we blame ourselves for so many of this world's problems?
Why do we place so much of our identity in our relationship status?
Why do we equate the attention he gives with our worth?
Why? Why? Why?

Last night, one of my friends told me how she desperately wanted to "save" someone close to her that was struggling in a bad situation. I told her we can't save anyone, only God can... and she asked me, "Then WHY isn't He?!?" Whoa... that threw me for a loop... I didn't have an answer to that. I don't have an answer to any of these questions, but that last one really made me think... why?

All I can do is trust that His word is truth, and hold onto the Lord's promises.
He IS good... even in the "whys."
