why do bad things have to happen?
So I know it’s been a while since I’ve been on here, but I think I just needed a little “blog break.” But I’m here with some sad news…my mom called over the weekend and informed me that last Thursday someone broke into her car and stole her backpack, which had her Bible in it that her mother gave her 34 years ago! My sweet Mimi passed away a year-and-a-half-ago (we all miss her so much), and for this to be taken from my mom has been really devastating. My mom is one of the most amazing Christian women I know, and her Bible was proof for how much she loves the Word of God. It was worn, the pages had a certain feel to them from being read over and over again. I don’t think I ever saw one page in her Bible that did not have a little side note written in the margin, or something highlighted on the page. This is the Bible she has used since she developed a very personal relationship with the Lord, and on Saturday when I spoke with her she stated it so perfectly, she said, “I feel like someone has taken apart of my body.” I have just been heartbroken over this for my mom! To lose something so dear that her mother gave her has just been so hard! It has been so frustrating because I’m sure the person that stole it was looking for a laptop or something of value. My mom’s sweet prayer has been that wherever it ended up someone would read it, and come to know the Lord But we’re also praying for a miracle…I’m praying that God would allow it to get into the right hands and somehow be returned. Pray with me!
I'm the wife to a wonderful, godly husband who I couldn't adore more! I'm overwhelmed by the blessing of my two precious kiddos, Izzy, 1 1/2, and Owen, newborn. I love being a mom to these 2 and getting to do ministry alongside my man. And incredibly thankful for a Savior that loves me!
That is so devastating! I know how upset your mom is. I will join you in that prayer!
that is so horrible. I’m praying with y’all!
