You are loved. Don't you ever forget it. Right now you may feel alone, scared, abandoned, but you have the whole entire country waiting to comfort you. My school of over 2,000 kids dedicated one day to wear a green and white in honor of your town. You may feel violated by the news cameras and invaded of privacy, and don't worry, we understand. Be strong. Your children are in the arms of the Almighty Father right now. Rejoice for them and their eternal happiness. Try to forgive the shooter. All the hate and hurt you feel in your heart will be drastically alleviated when you truly forgive. Make the best of the situation you're in. I know right now it seems impossible- trust me, I know. One of my friends committed suicide last year, and I was positive I would not make it through the tragedy. But one year later, we are still here and making a difference. There have been walks to raise money for suicide awareness, and his family is taking a stand to make a difference. Be strong. Gracefully and purposefully fight for the legacy of your beloved children. The whole United States will have your back. We absolutely love you, and do not ever loose faith. Jesus is still here, and still loving and watching over you.
..."I assure you, even if you had faith as small as a mustard seed you could say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it would move. Nothing would be impossible." Matthew 17: 20
Your strong faith will give you power to do anything. Trust in the Lord, for He will never abandon you.
"What do you think? If a man has a hundred sheep and one of them has gone astray, does he not leave the ninety-nine on the mountains and go in search of the one that went astray? And if he finds it, truly, I say to you, he rejoices over it more than over the ninety-nine that never went astray. So it is not the will of my Father who is in heaven that one of these little ones should perish." Matthew 18:12-14
The Lord loves you; you are everything to Him. Don't ever forget it. You feel lost and lonely. Allow yourself to be saved. Trust in the creator, who breathed you into existence.
