This morning started out really well.  Got up and read my Bible and hung out with God.  Took a shower, took Jacob to Michelle's, stopped and got MORE gas and came to work.  Got here around 8:30.  Since that time five people have called the church with heart breaking news.

Call number 1
A woman called and just left the phone on the table.  We could hear the arguing and fighting.  Ann finally called the police in fear of violence breaking out.  I know this couple and my heart hurts for them.

Call number 2
My sister called incredibly upset.  She had gone by and told a woman she would come today and move into a trailer.  She packed her stuff up yesterday and as she arrived to the trailer park, someone was in the trailer.  The land lord had told her she would keep the trailer, but someone else showed up with money in hand.  She has no where to go and is hurting.  My heart is broken for her.

Call number 3
A woman had tried to call me last night while I was in a Africa mission trip meeting.  I returned the call this morning to only find out she is addicted to Lora tab and her husband is about to leave.  She was hysterical and doesn't know what to do.  My heart aches for her and the pain she is dealing with.

Call number 4
A grandfather of someone I care for just had a heart attack.  They love their Grandpa and are worried for him.  I've been through this, my heart hurts for this entire family.  Losing a Dad is so hard.

Call number 5
One of my best friends tried to call last night but used a different phone.  I called the number this morning and spoke to his wife.  A pastor friend's wife was hit by a truck (neighbor hit her) and killed her instantly.  The church and this pastor are devastated.  My heart hurts for this church and pastor.

So many people are hurting all across our planet.  So many people just in our church are hurting.  But, none of this is catching God by surprise.

Psalm 55:22 
Cast your cares on the Lord and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous fall.

I love what god has called me to do, but there are days I long too hear good news.  Today is one of those days. 
I don't understand how people deal with life without Jesus!

Lord Jesus, please comfort each of these families.  I know you are in control, but they need you to minister in their life in a very real way.  Please give them an assurance that you are in complete control.  A-men!
