What Do We Do When the World is in Conflict ....

 
There has been so much public sorrow into the tragic school shooting. Words could not possibly express the horror and anguish we all felt upon hearing that special T.V. broadcast.
The social media that has been unleashed is also creating much conflict. Gun laws, shooting, children, mental illness, face book and twitter have not stopped since the tragedy began.
There is no right or wrong, no simple band aid, the hurt goes beyond unspeakable as this tragic story unfolds just as the world is preparing for one of it's most celebrated holidays, Christmas.
 
Yes bad things happen to good people, yes there is much conflict in the world, senseless acts of violence with no justification leaves one with a sense of hopelessness. But for all the bad there is good and the world from here to afar is banding together to pray, mourn and stand in the gap for all the victims and their families.

 In the twinkling of an eye, our world as we know it may just cease to exist, cutting our hearts and crushing the  security in our very souls, leaving confusion in its wake.
The reality is, tragedy isn't interested if your good or your bad or your  walk of faith or your devotion to God. Tragedy strikes suddenly and decisively; it's up to us how we deal with how it affects us .
What do we do when the world is in conflict, we stand firm..... we fight the good fight of faith... we keep moving, we keep doing, we reach out till we can't reach further. We don't stop moving , we keep going.
For all the families, an expression of words in a blog or face book can never express our sorrow for your losses..... May God Bless.... I know he sent an Angel to every child to silence their cries instantly... because his loving arms were already there. I declare it, i decree it, I believe it... so should you..
