Dried Up

I was reading the Crucifiction story as I try to do every Easter and I came up on a verse that I do not quite remember.

I remember Jesus saying, "forgive them for they know not what they do" and "today you will meet me in paradise" but I do not remember this sentence.

After the cross was given to Simon to carry...
"A Large number of people followed him, including women who mourned and wailed for him. Jesus turned and said to them, "Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for me; weep for youselves and for your children. For the time will come when you will say, 'Blessed are the childless women, the wombs that never bored and the breasts that never nursed!' Then they will say to the mountains, 'Fall on us' and to the hills, 'Cover us!' "
FOR IF PEOPLE DO THESE THINGS WHEN THE TREE IS GREEN, WHAT WILL HAPPEN WHEN IT IS DRY?"

The son of God was walking among them and performing miracles and people still did not believe. Everyday I walk around looking at God's marvilous work and my amazing blessings and I still do not believe. What will happen to me when something horrible happens? Will I dry up? Or take shelter in His Roots? We shall see...Lord help my unbelief.

I wish...

I have this beautiful friend. She is one of the most amazing people I know. Loves her friends. Loves to travel and experience new things. Generous. Kind...
Yet horrible things surround her. Her mother is dying of cancer and her siblings are not handling it very well. So of course...my amazing friend has to be the one holding everything together.

If only I knew how to help...how to be more than just a prayer warrior for her. I wish I had the money to take her to Greece and forget all her troubles. I wish I had the time to go to her house and clean and organize her rooms. I wish I had the strength to confront her family who are being so burdensome.

But alas, all I can do is pray. And i intend to pray for this woman for the rest of my life. Because the Lord shows himself through her whenever I am with her and provides me with comfort whenever I am in need.

So friends...be praying for this Proverbs 31 woman. Especially Today!
