...and it breaks a little more.

i've sung the song and made it my prayer...."break my heart for what breaks Yours"...but then, when it happens....ugh...the tears...the heartache...face to face with so much hurt and pain and sorrow.....how does our God handle it?  how does the One who loves us so much handle it?  i'm glad that He can... i sure can't...
  • a precious couple dealing with the death of their yet to be born baby
  • a man who never intended to be unfaithful to his beautiful bride
  • an incredible woman who just can't seem to beat the cancer that is trying so hard to beat her 
  • a friend low in the trenches of depression
  • a mom sick of reacting to her children in anger and frustration
  • a most lovely family waiting and waiting and waiting to bring the newest addition to their family home from across the ocean
  • an epidemic of misplaced priorities, pride and selfishness
  • a daughter picking up the pieces of her marriage
  • a little girl we couldn't help
  • a mama's heart ripped into a billion pieces
Yes, God, please break my heart for what breaks yours...but i need you to take care of the broken pieces...and i need you to take care of the pieces of my friends' hearts, too.  so thankful that You are trustworthy...good...capable...faithful...present.
