How do you stay positive and hopeful, when you’re in a season of setbacks, and what feels like one bad break after another? How do you hold on to faith and belief that things will turn out in your favor, in the midst of horrible news you never saw coming? How do you reconcile your faith, and spirituality when it makes no sense why God would allow something so awful to be happening?
