Tragedy or Destiny?

This morning I really didn't want to put up a post. I'm struggling with my feelings. I've found myself mad, mad that Kamber is gone. Mad that I couldn't have prevented this from happening. Why? She is a beautiful, happy, energetic little girl full of life. I needed to pray, so I did and just cried to my Heavenly Father. The comfort is there, but it still stings. He comforted me enough that I'm now here posting this message.
I remembered a message given by Spencer W. Kimball, one of the prophets of our church. It is titled Tragedy or Destiny? This message is wonderful. It talks about how Heavenly Father can prevent everything bad from happening but he doesn't. We are sent here to earth for a purpose and that's to learn and grow. We all have our free agency and that's all part of his plan.
You can find this message by going to lds.org Then search Spencer W. Kimball and scroll to the title Tragedy or Destiny. I have a firm testimony of the prophets of our church. I know they speak with our Heavenly Father and help to lead and guide our church. We are the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and are lead by thy son Jesus Christ so that we can return to live with our Father in Heaven again. I am thankful for the gospel and all it's teachings. I know you will feel peace as you read the message by Spencer W. Kimball. Thank you everyone for your time today.

Hang in there Jen. Im sure you will have several days like this. Have those talks handy to look at the often. I was excited to see your name on the schedule at work. I told all the girls about this blog and showed it to them. I was sad when the front office said you rescheduled, but I understand. You and your family continue to be in my thoughts and prayers.

Hi, my name is Denine and I am from Canada. I got your blog from the Caldwells who are good friends of my brother in Arizona "Scott and Nicole Pickles". We were in Arizona visiting when we heard the news. I too lost a child almost 2 yrs ago. He was only 2 and one month. I have become friends with many many moms through blogging that have lost a loving child. One specifically is very close to your situation. I think you might find it hopeful to read her blog it is titled "adailyscoop.blogspot.com"
If you ever need anyone to talk to please talk, I know you don't know me but I know your pain. My prayers are with you;
Lots of love;
Denine from Canada
