:::Tragedy:::

Oh my word.

It's been somewhat of a silent few months for me in the blog world - so much has happened, both amazing things in my life & tragedy in the state I call home. And to think, I thought my last post about the Fire was enough tragedy for one summer...
Last night's shooting in the movie theater at the Batman premier is sickening, heartbreaking news to wake up to. The scene that witnesses have describe is terrifying; I can't even imagine it. I'm weeping with the families who weep over the precious lives that were taken so early, and the poor victims who survived but who's lives have literally been changed forever.

God is a God of love. He holds the world together and He is in control. I'd like to think He knows it's hard being us, He knows it's hard to move from one tragedy to the next. It's hard when we don't understand and we can't seems to make sense of why hatred and darkness could run so deep in a person that he causes pain like this on innocent people.

We don't know his story, though I'm sure we will find out in the coming days. I guess I don't know where I'm going with this post other than to process "outloud" - this tragedy is devastating and though I know God will be glorified through it, I'm praying the Holy Spirit comforts those in mourning in the meantime. He is the ultimate comforter and though I couldn't even BEGIN to imagine this happening in my life, happening to someone I loved, my thoughts today are with the families and friends affected. Praying His peace, love, compassion & healing which is something the world cannot give. Hallelujah.
