There has been a lot of tragedy over the past few days. Two girls in my youth group, their dad passed away today. A former friend lost his girlfriend recently.
I am thankful for what God has blessed me with. A great fiancee. I crazy cat. A good last few months at my job (by the way, I'm resigning). And even some confirmation this weekend (Nik and I attended the National Youth Workers Convention) that God does want me to write a book about ministry. I think it will be a long process, but it is something we're looking at. I might also apply to a job in California. I don't know.
But I am sad for the losses experienced over the past week. I love these girls so much. My former friend has been through a lot, and this is just one more sadness.
It's difficult to be thankful when the world falls apart. I wrote a simple text to the girls. It said simply: I love you. The one girl, who has been striving forward in her faith since she found out months ago her dad had terminal cancer, told me thank you because love is worth more than anything right now. God help us love one another better.
