Life has been weird. I've been really depressed past couple of weeks--to the point I just don't want to exist. Not like I want to jump off a building or anything. I've just been tired of life in general, not feeling very hopeful, still grieving about Mark. Stupid.

So God encouraged me to take heart yesterday. Someone prayed for me at church, and I prayed for a freind, too. Then I went to a women's Bible study last night that was VERY encouraging. I went to the FaithCentre here in town this morning and had too much cofffee, but we were discussing "The Purpose Driven Life" and we talked a lot about the Bible and God. God blessed me with more of His word.

1 Peter 4:8 says "Above all else, love each other with fervent love; for love covers a multitude of sins."

As I pondered that verse, God was helping me to see that to love other Christians more fervently, I need to be praying more fervently first. I need to let His Holy Spirit lead me in earnest, caring prayer for people.
