"God promises that if we truly love Him, He will cause even the most terrible things in our lives to somehow be used for good." Romans 8:28
I sat down to write about this quote, and spill my cup of gratitude that is overflowing with what I have experienced in the past three weeks. I want to tell you all about the people that have restored my faith in humanity. I want to tell you about the moms, and the organizations, and the deliveries. I want to tell you all about the little joys - like Cupcake Tuesdays. I want to tell you about all the good moments. I want to tell you about tears. I want to tell you about love.
And I will tell you...but not tonight.
Tonight I am going to tell you that a horrible thing in someone else's life, that I am watching from the sidelines has changed me. A horrible thing that I cannot fix, has opened a door to what I can do. I discovered something good about myself in the process. I am an advocate. I am an advocate for what I can change, and what I can do to make a difference. I am an advocate for kindness, and goodness, and getting things done; things that make the world a kinder place, and I am grateful.
There are good things among the terrible things, and all we had to do was face the horrible things with love.
