Hypochondroplasia kid: God is still God even if things dont go your way

What is hypochondroplasia?

Hypochondroplasia is a form of short-limbed dwarfism. This condition affects the conversion of cartilage into bone (a process called ossification), particularly in the long bones of the arms and legs. Hypochondroplasia is similar to another skeletal disorder called achondroplasia, but the features tend to be milder.

All people with hypochondroplasia have short stature. The adult height for men with this condition ranges from 138 centimeters to 165 centimeters (4 feet, 6 inches to 5 feet, 5 inches). The height range for adult women is 128 centimeters to 151 centimeters (4 feet, 2 inches to 4 feet, 11 inches).

People with hypochondroplasia have short arms and legs and broad, short hands and feet. Other characteristic features include a large head, limited range of motion at the elbows, a sway of the lower back (lordosis), and bowed legs. These signs are generally less pronounced than those seen with achondroplasia and may not be noticeable until early or middle childhood. Some studies have reported that a small percentage of people with hypochondroplasia have mild to moderate intellectual disability or learning problems, but other studies have produced conflicting results.

God is still God even if things dont go your way

God is still God even if things don't go your way.
I have been reading the Redemption series by Karen Kingsburry and it is about a family that goes through all kinds of obstacles from death to handicapped children to sins effects.
Anyway, to make a long story short, in the book a woman is debating God doing miracles. Why do some get their miracle and some dream of miracles. Who gets one and what determines a miracle candidate?
Anyway as I was reading one of the characters says "God is still God even if things don't go your way."
Yes, yes he is but as a Christian maybe I feel I and some others I love, need a miracle, a change. Why do we as Christ followers feel we deserve miracles?
Well I have come to the conclusion that we see people in the bible or maybe others in our time that God did amazing things and we feel that because we love the same God and have faith in Him he will move mountains. And he will and does but it might not be when or what we want in our time. If we could pray something into being would we need a God? Just putting things out there? let me know what y'all have discovered in your pain, in your relationship with God.

Hi. Sorry this isn't related to your post, but I just wanted to say thank you for your blog. My youngest was diagnosed with hypochondroplasia in September. It's nice to be able to read about other families experience.
All the best to you and your family.
