The Peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus ~Phil 4:7
Hello, Everyone! I haven’t been keeping up with posting everyday, due to the horrific tornado that happen in Oklahoma. Because, I was feeling very hurt by the whole situation. Especially, after seeing a few televised visions, of a flatten and torn town. That I didn’t think my words or photos were enough, or needed at the time. Nor, could my mind think of something appropriate to post about.
So, instead I prayed privately , without having much I could do, but, pray, Because, extra funds aren’t available to me at this time in order for me to donate. For me not to be able to do this, deeply saddens me. As, I can empathize with someone who may having financial problems and responsibilities when something like that happens. And it never happens at a good time in life, when your fairing financially, better.
I know this, as I live in a place that has been hit by hurricanes. Not, to far from Oklahoma. So, I understand a bright blog post, of the sun shining.While, asking everyone to be grateful and keep faith. Might, sound and look more like, mocking. I completely get it. I also know how it feels when, one feels that, all the light has been distinguished.I get it and this too, makes my heart so very, heavy. How can I preach a belief when things like this happen? For me to do this–I feel- I can’t. Because, I know In my own trails of lose. I want someone to truly understand what I’m feeling. In fact I would prefer a hug and a good ear as someone’s support.
With, that being said and understood, I have this to say. Our Father who Christ is in, shows his self in many forms. As, the fire people , E.M.T’s, Police department and a good Samaritan . In times of trouble and need. I truly believe this. As, I have seen these people in action. To name one , let’s not forget in April, what happen in Boston. So, when I prayed my prayers privately. Though ,they haven’t been answered, perfectly.
However, I have seen my prayers being justified. So, I would like everyone to consider my prayers as a hug. A hug, received from a teacher. Or, a mother being reunited with her children and a friend who came when you needed them most. Also, consider my prayers as the tears seen on the faces for those who were lost. And, than see my optimism in those who are still keeping their faith, after what they have been through. Amen
I also, know this ,may not be well written, but, it’s from my heart.
