"Get Real" Bad News

"Get Real" Got a phone call this morning.

One of those you really don't want. Right in the middle of your comfortable routine. All is well and the sun is shining. You answer the call and are plunged into a grey day, the sun is gone and dark clouds are threatening.

"God, help me" you cry, "give me words, pour out Your wisdom!" and He does!

After the call you pray. Your heart hurts for dear ones beginning a journey that will forever change their lives. You pray for each heart touched by the ripples of the event. You pray for comfort and healing. Praising God for holding them close, cradling them in His arms and giving peace.

I read recently that growth is like a birth - painful, bloody, messy. These dear ones hit a mighty growth spurt today. All involved will stretch beyond themselves. I pray their roots will dig deep into the Living Waters and reach high their branches to touch the face of God!

Sometimes He calms the storm, more often He calms His child!

Philippians 4:19 - "And my God will meet all your needs according to His glorious riches in Christ Jesus."
