It's a bit weird. I forget a lot that I am so blessed. Its so easy to get caught up in the every day stuff and forget that I am supposed to be thankful for the good seasons of my life and praise God for those times just as much as I am to go to Him during the rainy seasons. These past few days have just opened my eyes and for the better.
I have a few close friends going through some hard times. Specifically 2 of my dear friends in Dallas and I have seen them both in the last few hours and heard about what they are going through. These girls are two beautiful Christian ladies with the most wonderful hearts you've ever met and yet their struggles are so deep and heartbreaking.
Today it was just hard thinking about how they are in their rainy season, while i'm here in the sunshine. Sure, I have a bad day (sometimes a bad week), school sucks, i get lonely, blah blah blah. But what does that compare to when I have my health, I have a wonderful family who loves me, I have a job, etc. Today God blessed me with the remembrance of these things I have. And in doing so, He burdened my heart with the pains of my dear friends. It sucks. I wish I could be in their place and take their pain away. I wish I could be there for them more than I am. I wish there was something I could physically do to take it all away, to make it better. God reminded me today, "just bring it to me, Kara, just bring it to me".
So in changing the *cheers* to a prayer:
I pray, dear Lord, for these wonderful ladies who you have blessed my life with. I want to lift up their tears and their pain to you. I pray that you would comfort them, and give them peace. I pray that they would seek you in these tough times and be reminded of your love for them. I pray that your will be done in each of these situations. In Jesus name, *AMEN*
