The last week has been a complete roller coaster ride for me. I sat and watched the events last Thursday like a sick addiction. Not knowing what to do, but just sit and pray for all the lives lost. I found myself hoping the man they identified as a suspect wasn't, he looked like such a nice guy, so thankful his story checked out.
It felt like the loss of 9/11 all over again, only this time, the world was not coming together, there was hate for/among each other, the hate of Orlando loomed so recent in our minds. I felt heart broken. Monday morning as I read a couple articles, I just felt sick, so much back and fourth, so many lies and so much hate, I had to delete social media for a few days and just step back. Every time I found myself reaching to check social media, I prayed. I prayed a lot those first couple days. I don't have all the answers, I don't know the Bible front to back, I do know this:
John 13:34-35 ESV
A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another. By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”
The greatest commandment says to love. I hope my blog, my page, and my life is an example of this love.
Just felt like I needed to get that out there. I hope you all have an amazing week, and I adore you all!
Thank you,
Amanda
