sadness

I am sad.

My good friend and I finally

had our birthday party today.

It was really fun.

I had bible study tonight.

It was beyond great.

A visiting missionary spoke.

I loved it so.

Then I came home and 

received sad news.

Terribly awful, sad news.

My friend lost her son.

He was just finishing his freshman year in college.

I hurt for her.

I cannot help her.

I can only pray.

And pray.

And pray.

Please lift this family in prayer

 during these sad and hard days ahead.

Find rest, O my soul, in God alone;

my hope comes from him.

He alone is my rock and my salvation;

he is my fortress, I will not be shaken.

My salvation and my honor depend on God.

he is my mighty rock, my refuge.

Trust in him at all times, O people;

pour out your hearts to him,

for God is our refuge.

 Psalm 62:5-8
