Usually on Monday mornings I like to add a funny or interesting story to my blog about our weekend adventures, but it just doesn't seem right given the circumstances. Today I have a gut wrenching pit in my heart for a friend who is going through one of those storms we call life, and in a way I feel helpless. When receiving her news this weekend I was brought to my knees in tears, and this is not an exaggeration. Sometimes the hardest part about being a friend is knowing when to step in, when to step back, and when to just give it to God. This is one of those times where we need to look straight up for the answers, for the healing, for the miracles we know only HE is capable of.
As friends we can pray, support one another, be there for a hug, and share in the tears, but there is nothing on this Earth like the presence and the peace of God. Today I lift up my friend Jennifer, her husband Jimmy and their sweet baby girl in prayers. I pray that this week be one of healing, one of miracles, and most of all enveloped in peace and strength.
If you are reading this I ask that you join me as a prayer warrior for this family.
"The Lord God is in your midst, a mighty one who will save; He will rejoice over you with gladness; He will quiet you by His love; He will exalt you over loud singing." Zephaniah 3:17.
