The other day my heart was truely broken for the world we live in.  As I sat in my car, at a red light, a man got out of the car beside me and was yelling at the guy in front off him.  And there seemed to be no real reason-there was no wreck or potential for one at that time.  (I was scared for myself-I was praying -Lord, please don't let me get shot-they didn't have a gun that I knew of-but the unknown can be quite fearful-and this is all right beside my drivers side door)  Anyways, one of the women with them started yelling and threatening to call the police-when her husband had started it all-and I was about to call the police-yet for some reason I was completely terrified to.  As I prayed for a police officer to drive by-well, sure enough he was driving over the bridge towards us! 

So, the situation was resolved, but I never really experienced that before and until this point had not grasped how broken this world is.  There are truely so many people around us that have struggles that we can not imagine.  I pray that my heart will continually be effected by their hurt in a way that I will not forget the need for my Savior that other people have.  And when I can not handle it-I remember this-his strength is made perfect for me-and it is made perfect when I am weak.  In the peace and love of my Lord.
