When the Freight Train Hits

I'm never prepared to receive news like I did today from Jordan. As a result, it can just grind and grind at me. Unfortunately, that means that I usually can't focus on much else.

But at Hope College, we are blessed with a Campus Ministries team that loves both its students and faculty & staff and seeks to look after the campus. I saw evidence when Trygve made room in his schedule for me, to let me unpack what mess of emotions was swirling around my brain, and to just pray for me. It cut into his next appointment by several minutes, but he didn't say a word about that.

And Ross did the same thing. He let me talk to him after Chapel Choir, and he prayed with me, too.

Lord, bless them both.

Jesus, You have carried me
When I could not stand
Jesus, You have carried me
It's all been part of Your plan

Jesus, You have carried me
It's Your footprints in the sand
Jesus, You have carried me
It was always in Your hands

Jesus...
