My heart is heavy

I woke up this morning excited that it was Friday!  I was excited that I get to see my best friend this weekend and spend some time with her!  I was excited that it was payday!  Then I turn on the news and open up FB and see all of the tragedy that is happening around me.  How do you avoid letting things like that affect your mood?  Last night there was a shooting in Aurora, Colorado at a movie theater.  At least 12 are dead, including children, several more injured.  A dear friends sister delivered a healthy, baby boy yesterday.  Today she (the mom) is on her way to another hospital because she has taken a turn for the worst.  One of the Inspectors at my job said that his son's friend shot and killed himself last night.  Everywhere I look there is death and tragedy and heartache.  I know that God has a plan for us all, but sometimes it is so hard to wrap my mind around all of the hate and unhappiness that surrounds us everyday.  I am praying for all of these families, the friends, and the victims.  I know that one day we will be surrounded with nothing but love and laughter.  Until that happens, I will hold my head high and take advantage of the time I have with my daughter and my family and friends and continue to PRAY.  I hope you will all do the same.  And on that note, I leave you with a picture of me and my precious!  God Bless!  ~E

  1. Hold your head up! God is protecting all those killed in injured throughout each and every day, especially those killed last night. We are all here together to pull one another through. ♥
