Heavy Hearted

I head to bed heavy hearted tonight. We had a late night out and I was checking my email, messages, blogs, etc. quickly before bed.

I just learned that a friend of mine....she has a sweet 2 year old, Colin, and just had another little guy last week, Ethan.....is heading to Tampa tomorrow for treatment. Tests this week have showed spots on her brain and cancer throughout her body. As I gather more information, I hope to find out this information is terribly inaccurate.

I just read a blog about a little 5 month old or so that passed away last month when her mama put her down for her morning nap. She would have been 6 months old in 3 days...

I'm then reminded of the verse I was trying to memorize today...John 16:33..."I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world." I decided to look it up in the Message..."I've told you all this so that trusting me, you will be unshakable and assured, deeply at peace. In this godless world you will continue to experience difficulties. But take heart! I've conquered the world."

I choose peace.....and peace for these precious people....
