it is nothing on the scale of world events or even national catastrophe, but i am feeling the need to share a little of my personal world with you all. bear with me. it started with a night in seattle: i had just flown back from visiting my sister in wisconsin a few weeks ago(and Abbie in minnesota!) and i had my luggage in the car. Scott and i stopped to eat some food and when we came back out to the car, it had been quite obviously broken into. everything was a mess and they had torn out my cd player. that alone was not so bad...its just that my suitcase was stolen! my Bible, my journal with my writings from the whole Egypt trip up through now, my camera, and other sentimental objects such as my scarf from Jerusalm were stolen! i know it sounds silly and little, but i have really struggled with feeling so violated and angry.
story 2: a week later my cousin who has schizophrenia overdosed on his meds and nearly died. i spent a lot of time in the hospital with him. he has been moved now to a psyche ward for who knows how long. he is really devestated and depressed to be where he is.
story 3: last night four girls from George fox were in a horrible accident. one died. she was my roomate when i returned from Egypt until i graduated. i knew all the girls pretty well. the other three are in hospitals but things are not looking good. these four girls also happen to be four of my brother's closest friends! i am hurting for him almost as much as for the loss of cara. please pray for us.
i'm sorry to write depressing things. i feel like thats the only time i ever write. i'm sorry. my heart is so heavy.

Im really sorry to hear about all this Molly. Ill be praying for you.
I'm sorry Molly. My heart hurts for you. Please, if you need anything let me know. I love you.
Oh Molly...there are no words for me to give you--only my heart. I love you and will be praying for you as life right now seems overwhelming for sure. Molly--I love you when your face is beautiful colors, and when I see worms in your poop and when you write heart-wrenching blogs. I love you girl.
Molly, you are definitely in my prayers, that's a lot of tough stuff
hey girl.
my heart is with you. that's all i want to say. that, and i have some idea of what you're going through and i understand the violation, the darkness, the hopelessness, and the pain that you must be feeling right now. i love you so much and i want you to know that. we prayed for george fox and your friends and community today in chapel this morning--so know also that you and yours are not alone and that our whole campus is hurting with you too. "be still, for it is the Lord who fights for you." i love you.
