robbed.

So I WAS going to post yesterday but I got a call around 12:30pm from Matt. He had this incredibly concerned voice and that is always awful - plus no one ever calls me during the day.

We were robbed.

Between 8am and 12pm.

They broke through the back door and deadbolted the front door. They two two tv's....two computers, two cameras, our comforter and sheets, a jar with change in it, alarm clock, few pillow cases, head phones, and hair gel. They had two rifles in another pillow case. It looks like Matt interrupted them and they bolted before they had any idea.

My first question was where is Presley. I had heard a horrible story about how robbers have hurt peoples pets and stolen them. Presley was a okay. Thank you, LORD.

We also had bought a new laptop and a new camera last Friday. Stolen.

Hair gel??? stolen. whatever.

stolen jar of money? Take it? all that was in there were nickels and pennies. I took out all the quarters.

I didn't want to go to work today. I have all the blinds drawn - no one can look in our apartment and I don't trust anyone. Luckily our lease is up in November. We really love the complex...just not our apartment - it is the prime area for a burglary to happen. We are moving to the second floor and in the WIDE open.

The shaking hasn't completely gone away. The crappy feeling is just parked in my stomach. I am just sitting here with a glazed look in my eyes.

I got into work at 8am today and found out that our server is down. GOD really wanted to give me a break today. It is 10am and the server is still down. I also told Matt that I really wanted Jamba Juice today - just got  coupons for cheap jamba juice.

He's always here for me. I just pray he gives me the ability to not hate people and to forgive...because that is going to be difficult.

I absolutely love my friends that asked how I was doing. You really find out who your friends are in this time. I'm keeping them close.

So no pictures....they stole them...

all I want to do is sit in church and talk about GOD.


"And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive him, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins" (Mark 11:25). "Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven" (Luke 6:37). 


Father God, I need your help and your insights. Today I have gained a better understanding of forgiving others and with your help, I fully forgive from my heart. Just as you have freely forgiven me, I forgive them. Father, I ask you to forgive me for hurting others out of my own hurt and to heal my relationships with others. I pray all of this in Jesus' precious name and by whom all forgiveness and healing was made possible. Thank you for loving me in ways I'll never comprehend. In Jesus' name, Amen.



This is going to be a process. long process.
