Two Words That Mean So Much

Jesus Wept
It may be the shortest verse in the bible but its powerful. Watch the video clip...
Need I say more? As someone who has experienced grief, this is very accurate, at least it is from my point of view. The sitting shiva should sound a lot like my lying down days I spoke of in this previous post. Obviously Rob Bell, the man from the clip, has also been through grief and understands. I suggest watching the whole video if you can get your hands on it. May it encourage you and give you hope...a paraphrased veresion of what Rob says at the end of the video is as follows: "Jesus is sitting shiva with you, whether you realize it or not. Whatever your feeling is ok, but please don't choice to be bitter or closed but be open and know that while Jesus sits with you he is also restoring your heart.Your heart will never be the same but you will recover."
Peace and Love until the next blog,
Amanda
