**DIED APRIL 17, 2007** **Birthday: Sept.9, 1991** IN MEMORY OF CAITLIN/She loved God with a passion. she was the light in our school when it seemed like a dark place.
It will be so hard to go throughout school knowing she will never be there again.
But we will see her again in eternity.
God does everything for a reason. She was just so close to us.

Many people ake the very popular question, "Why do bad things happen to good people?"
In James 1:3 it states " because you know that the testing of your faith developes perseverence."
Well what is that suppose to me?!?!
Well to put it in perspective lets say it like this: When we go through trials and tribulation, there are 3 major outcomes. ONE: We can become hard and hating. We close off any influences that may try to help us. TWO: We can become weak and crumble. Even at the smallest test we can't stand.
Then there's number THREE: We can run to God for help who in return will strengthen you. This is the most favorable outcome.
Job is probably the best example of someone who went through a great trial and had a good outcome. He lost ALL he had: His family, his riches, even his own health. But even in the midst of all that he said, "THE LORD GIVETH AND LORD TAKETH AWAY, BLESSED BE THE NAME OF THE LORD!"(Job 1:21) To find out what happened to jod in detail, you can read about it in Jod chapter 1. But God blessed him for his faithfullnes, likewise he will bless those who "run the good race" in their trials. A lot of people had a good outcome as Job did, but not ALL did.
Adam and Eve are probably the best example of a bad outcome. They were created in a perfect invironment without sin. But Satan always finds a way to creep in. He tempted Eve first. Eve then fell under the temptation and took the forbidden fruit. Then adam took it. direct disobedience from God. Because of their disobedience the entire human race was cursed- and still is! Talk about your descisions affecting others! To read about the Fall of Man you it in the Bible in Genesis chapter 3.
if only they had held eachother accountable, hwo knows, maybe we'd still be in the Garden. But God is a forgiving God. And if you're going through a test right now and you make a mistake, don't give up. God will forgive you if you are truly sincere. It's your choice. WHO WILL YOU BE?
