Heavy heart
There's been a lot of stuff going on in the lives of some friends that I care very much about. Just a lot of hard times. I won't go into detail but there's one situation in particular that's heavy on my heart. I'm somewhat in a state of shock, wondering why this happened. I realized now that that's not necessary or really worth it, because it is what it is and now we as a community have to begin the healing process.
In my line of work, you really have to give everyone you work for the benefit of the doubt, or at least try. You can't be in a position of judgment, because that's the last thing they need. They come to us for help, and that's our jobs. That's my job. And you have to be extremely careful with not only what you say, but how you say it. You may be saying something you think is incredibly insightful, but if you say it the wrong way it can have the opposite effect. It's very challenging but like doing that in the sense that I really have to think about what I say before saying it. Anyway, back to point, but I'm looking at this from my standpoint. I'm trying to see all the views, and not be in a position of judgment. Because the truth is you never really know what happened; only God knows. With the stuff that's going on with my friends, all I can do is just be there and offer any support that I can. And pray, because that's really all I know to do. I always find comfort in knowing that if something is going on with me that people are praying for me.
Times are rough and uncertain. It seems like everything I log onto Facebook or what that there's a report of another shooting or another celebrity divorce or another drug bust. It's downright depressing if I'm being honest. But all I try to do is just show the love of Jesus as best as I can. If I can do a small part to try and make the world a little bit better than it's worth it.
