Sharing Hope in Crisis

Last night was the first 2 hours of the Sharing Hope in Crisis seminar. Remember how I was kinda nervous cause I thought it would be intense? I was right. It's INTENSE. I don't think he could've said anything else that would have made me cry more. The whole time I was there I wanted to run out the door. I generally avoid hearing tragic stories about death and sorrow and loss, and this was like one big tragic story FEST. But I stayed because it's going to be really good. I want to learn about this. Today should be better anyways.. he said last night was the morbid part, and that today is progressing on from that. Today we're supposed to learn about what to say or not say to someone experiencing a crisis, what to do or not do, how to pray for them, and how to take care of ourselves while taking care of others. So I know it's going to be a good thing. It's going to be a good thing. I'm still excited about what I'm learning, it was just even harder than I anticipated.
If you think of it, I would really appreciate your prayers today. Love you guys! Till next time.
