We are a hurting people.  I am burdened for my country right now, for other countries.  We desperately need mercy, understanding, wisdom, and love--I know of only one source for all of the above. I am drawn in to the point of drowning in the heaviness of continual social media posts of varying opinions of the events taking place in this troubling time.  I lose focus and easily forget that I have a Prince of Peace, and the problems of this world should seem dim if I am truly chasing Him as I should.

I can't fix it, but I saw a social media post about a movement to set an alarm on your phone for 8:00p.m. and to pray for our nation for one minute at that time.  I have been doing that.  I can't fix it, but I can try and love people right where they are.  I will be intentionally doing that next week with a really cool service project, and I will share more on that later.

Right now, we are coming off of a crazy, busy week - more on that later.  This post is my warning that my next posts will be humorous and celebratory.  That does not mean that I have buried my head in the sand and forgotten that we have work to do to be united in my country or that I am not grieving the events of the past days.  I just have to take a break from the heaviness.
