There are those days when you feel like you have your whole life together — everything is moving forward exactly as you’ve envisioned and designed, with big things on the horizon. Then there are the days when it feels like everything is falling apart, or at the very least, stagnant. The days when you just want to hold onto someone and let everything else fade away.

This isn’t quite either one of those kinds of days for me; it’s somewhere in between.

Our lives are going along swimmingly. The past two days, we’ve gotten some really exciting news related to our business, and our personal life is wonderful right now, too. But all around us, we’re watching people we care about struggle with unspeakable pain and loss and suffering. Every day introduces us to a new grief for a new set of friends that make any of my “problems” seem truly insignificant.

We’re spending a lot of time praying for our friends this week. We’re all in a constant state of putting our lives together and having them fall apart, and piecing them together again.
