Lately it seems that the world has been rocked with more chaos than usual. From terrorist bombings today in India and wild fires in Florida to the catastrophic earthquake in China, tornadoes here in the USA, and the devastating cyclone in Myanmar it is difficult not to ask "what's next?"
On one hand, I am so thankful that friends and family are safe in China while on the other my heart breaks for those who have had their lives completely devastated.
I rejoice for the amazing daughter that I have (who celebrated her 14th birthday yesterday) while, at the same time, I grieve for friends who recently lost their child and my aunt who lost her husband of more than 50 years.
I thank God every day for the blessings in my life yet struggle with the rising costs of fuel of food to keep my family afloat.
I know in my heart that we if we just trust, our needs will be met by our Lord and Savior, but I still struggle on a daily basis with letting go.
We are all part of a greater plan, my prayer is that God pull the curtains from my eyes to see that greater plan.
The people of the world need our prayers. Tonight, I especially ask that you remember the people of China and Myanmar.
