Just look up....
Have you ever sat down to post and stared at the computer wondering what to write? That is where I am right now. Ben's funeral was a blessing. 10-15 people were saved because of it and the memorial service. Many other people were stirred on or back to the Lord. I have had many witnessing opportunities to share the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Candi: She's doing alright. I guess as well as could be expected after the loss of her love of 4.5 years, her goals, dreams free time, phone calls, etc. She is optimistic and has her bad days, but the Lord has given her amazing grace and people around her to help her heal.
Me: Struggling. Its hard to see your friend hurting like this. Its good to be home. I dont know where I am going to live til school starts. The first team just got back from Mozambique and had a wonderful time. Its hard to see your friend hurting like this. Its so great spending time with my nephew. We found out that the tickets home werent paid for and we both need around $2,000. I got to work with my mom again on an estate sale, she's so fun. I have alot of decisions to make concerning the future. My family is getting along very well and is very supportive. My step-sisters and I have had some really good talks.
As you can see, I am struggling. My heart desires Africa, yet the Lord has me here. I think it was the right decision to stay, yet every day is hard. The Lord is blessing me, but I am weary.
Encouragemet: "I will praise You in this storm...I lift my eyes unto the hills; where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth."
"He gives and takes away, blessed be the name of the Lord."

wow, Traci! I was shocked to read of Ben's death from one of the Zack's updates, so I had to check it out on your blog. I can't even imagine what you must be feeling trying to help a friend through this tough time, and how your friend must be dealing with such a tragic and awful thing! I literally got goose bumps and chills when I heard of the situation, and even though I don't know Candi or Ben, Candi has been in my prayers for days now. I hope she is able to heal in the Lord's time, and I hope you are able to be an encouragement. Happy Birthday by the way!
