This morning as I was nursing our little man the morning news shows were all covering the tragedy of the Virginia Tech shootings. They made me feel so tired, so worn out, so thirsty to be in God's presence for peace. I do not have any personal connections to any of the losses, and cannot pretend to begin to understand the loss that moms, dads, siblings and friends of those killed are going through and will go through. I could only imagine as I looked down at my baby that I was so gently cuddling and rocking how my own heart would feel as if it were literally ripping apart if I lost any of my children.
I thank you Lord that we can find comfort and healing in you. I pray that your love and peace will shine evident in such a horrendous situation.
Just a woman in it for the long haul of marriage, gaining humility thru this parenting gig and slinging hope and humor to those around me.
