Now what?

After the news of last nights rampage is my home so dear and after reading and reflecting on this post my heart is heavy with the aches and groans of this world we know. As I sit here feeling helpless and selfish I remembered Psalm 13. A cry out to God and yet a reminder of the solid foundation. That self-wallowing is not the answer, but standing assured in the God of the Universe, the God of Love is a good place to start and continually return to. The next steps can always be terrifying and tricky, but I was comforted by these words of wisdom and inspired to see what I can do. In the meantime, my heart breaks for those suffering in Colorado and around the world and my heart cries Psalm 13...

How long, LORD? Will you forget me forever?
How long will you hide your face from me?
 How long must I wrestle with my thougths and
day after day have sorrow in my heart?
How long will my enemy triumph over me?
Look on me and answer, LORD my God.
Give light to my eyes, or I will sleep in death, and my enemy will say,
"I have overcome him, and my foes will rejoice when I fall."
But I trust in your unfailing love; my heart rejoices in your salvation.
I will sing the LORD's praise, for he has been good to me.
(NIV)
