Grand Rapids, MI. Maybe you have seen it on the news? Recently not for good either. A man shot 7 people. One was one of my best friend's friend and coworker. She is devastated by the news. Murder. Let alone a death of a friend, but to know that it was a planned death. That it wasn't an accident. The loss of a friend is bad enough, but to add to it more intense grief and anger towards the man who shot all those people...my heart cries out for her. She came over and cried a few tears. Then we watched multiple episodes of the second season of House.
She is one to cover up her emotions. I worry about her. It was a good step that she came over. But sometimes I think I talk too much, and do not allow her time to open up when she needs too. Be praying for her. For her to lean on God more and less on the world. That she would find peace that passes all circumstances. That she would use this experience as a springing board to tell more of her friends about Jesus, so that when they die she doesn't have that nagging question digging at your heart about whether or not you will see them in Heaven. My goal this week? To tell someone about Jesus. Even if it is my mom and sister again, no matter how subtle.
Often things strike my heart and want to come bursting forth. They come spilling out onto the page, or computer screen. With ink filling pages or my fingers flying across the keyboard, my mind going a million miles a minute, and my heart crying out to be heard. Here is where you’ll find those things, my little notes on life.
Little Bit About Me
- Jess
- First and foremost, I am a Christian woman: I love Jesus! In this blog you will find stories of trying to conceive with PCOS, MTHFR, Poor egg quality, a unicornuate uteterus, and too many babies in heaven. It is a good thing God is the ultimate healer! Here you will find praise! and you may also find venting (I'm not perfect...) and you will find other stories of my crazy life. All the while through this journey I am holding on to scripture & hoping to one day be a mother here on Earth (waiting on God & His perfect timing...why am I so impatient?) But in the meantime, here you will find me: Jessica, loving wife, hopeful heart of a mother, and faithful friend.
Oh my, that is so tragic :-( I'm so sorry for your friend.
