Take heart in times of trouble. God is with us.
BY HEIDI EVANS
Jeremiah 29:11-14
New International Version (NIV)
11 For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. 12 Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. 13 You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. 14 I will be found by you," declares the LORD, "and will bring you back from captivity.[a] I will gather you from all the nations and places where I have banished you," declares the LORD, "and will bring you back to the place from which I carried you into exile."
This week's shootings and violence created a lot of thoughts and emotions in all of us. For me, it brings me back in the Kitsap Sun newsroom and April 20, 1999, the date of the Columbine massacre and also the date of an answered prayer. But to explain that, I have to go back many years to one of my earliest memories.
I was 4 years old and standing on the kitchen counter trying to match the numbers posted on a card on the wall with the numbers on the phone. I remember being thankful the phone didn't have a rotary dial. I remember thinking it was important that I did the numbers just right. I remember being especially careful and cautious, hoping I didn't right the first time because I couldn't fix it if I didn't. It's an odd memory and one I didn't understand for some time.
When I was older, I learned that my mother, who was suffering debilitating headaches, had fallen unconscious outdoors. I had called my father at work and told him, "Mommy is sleeping in the backyard and she won't wake up."
