poker face

notice:
i am going to be wearing my poker face for at least the next couple of days.

because otherwise, i will be a total wreck.

wedding stress? hmmm. yes, sort of.

it is stressful. i am stretched more than thin. but today was just a steady stream of bad news and sad stuff. grief and sadness, frustration and angst. from friends and people that i love, and miss, and wish that i could help. and i feel helpless.

i know that the Lord is good. i also know that he is not a Genie here to grant our wishes. but today i just want to say PLEASE!!! PLEASE GOD! DO SOMETHING! move the mountain. heal the hearts. calm the fear and angst.

give us this day our daily bread. and by bread, i mean what we need. and what we need right now is some healing, clarity, and peace. and some other stuff. like time. like sleep. like health. like those deep and sharp desires of our hearts: jobs, babies, and the healing of grief-stricken sadness.

or, as my dear friend JR once said:
Dear Lord Jesus,
Throw us a FRICKIN' BONE.

amen.
