Looking on here, I see it's been over 2 months since I've written a blog. So much has happened in the world in these months! I came here with the thought of writing something else, but I can't ignore what has happened. People are living in fear and dying because of the color of their skin?! What is wrong with people that think this is the way we are supposed to be living?!
I'm both heartbroken and hopeful that things will be changing for the better. I'm heartbroken that things had to get to the point that they did, that eyes weren't open before, but now that they are, I am hoping that things change. We can't look the other way anymore. When I say we, I mean we. I was one of the ones with eyes not wide open... seeing some things, but not seeing or realizing the horror that racism has created. It has to stop!
I've been reading and listening and researching. I'm amazed at the hate that I've seen. I'm confused at times as I hear mixed messages depending on who I listen to, but above it all, I know I have to discern how I can best show love. I understand how that can sometimes be hard to do in random circumstances, but in this time, I don't understand how anyone can not do their best to try.
I am saddened by the hurt I see.
Right now, that's all I can say about this. I'm still in the listening and learning process. I hope you will join me.
So, where do I see God in this? I see Him in the words He commanded as we look for ways to move forward. Love one another!
Blessings,
Jennifer
