Hey Y’all,
What a crazy few weeks we, as a nation, have had. I am by no means a “news junkie” but it is
really hard to avoid the violence that is all over the TV, radio and internet. And this ugliness is going on in our cities… Such heartbreaking sadness. If you know me, you know I like to live my
quiet little Pollyanna life and all that yucky stuff? It happens “somewhere
else”…. Well, it seems to be getting
closer and closer to my world and I readily admit, it is starting to make me a
little anxious.

This week 2 of our SHE’s will be traveling with family. They
should be excited and looking forward to getting away. One group is celebrating
a well-earned accomplishment and the other, a joyous family wedding. But I know they are wrestling with an
uncertainty. Should we go? Will we be safe?
This makes me sad and angry. They deserve these trips and should be able
to travel with a light heart. But the
ugliness is stealing that from them. Do
you have family or friends in similar situations?
The foundation of my Pollyanna world is that I know the Lord
is in control and truly believe everything will be okay, and to quote Lisa, “or
it won’t be”… (She
will probably share her reasoning for that at some point.) Either way, I know the Lord has got it and I
should be thankful; anxiously waiting to see how he guides the circumstance I
am “fearful” of. Now I also know that this
does not mean that the situation will always turn out the way I think it should…bad things happen to good people every
day. But
I do know that I will be blessed abundantly more than I deserve whatever the
situation’s outcome.
As the decision is made to go or not to go, I will stay in my
Pollyanna world, I will pray for their safety and wait in anticipation of hearing all about
their exciting travels.
Xoxo,
Amy
