I'll be honest with you. I haven't touched the handy-dandy Fanfic shortcut on my computer for a long time - maybe a couple of weeks. Between the looming deadline of my huge piano evaluation, the extra work of suddenly having to take over my tiny church's music duties, having allergies for only the second time in my life, and having no time or inspiration to update, (plus a million and one little things that just pile up) it just seemed too stressful to even think about trying to find time for fanfic.

But tonight, I got on.

I thought I was just looking for a little fluff before nodding off, but then I saw the frantic post at the top of my screen, begging for prayer. Though tired and stressed, I didn't even think twice. I clicked.

And all my problems vanished. Put into perspective by the painful reality another family was facing.

I've been through almost losing a friend to mental instability, and it's never easy. My heart goes out to Project Moonlark's family and friends. I admit, I didn't know her very well. I have trouble keeping up with the huge flow of fanfics, so I tent to be a little choosy when I have the time to get on. I haven't read a whole lot of her work, but from what I have read, she is an amazing girl with a huge talent. I didn't always find her subject material "appropriate," in my conservative definition, but all that meant was that she wasn't one of my first pick authors, not that I thought she should be reported or anything else so drastic.

Some of you might not believe in God. Some of you might not think he could or would ever work through a website like this. But I believe He led me to this news tonight, and tonight, I will be praying for Project Moonlark, her family, and her friends.

There is a God in heaven, watching over us all, and yes, sometimes horrible things happen. Sometimes, people aren't listening to his guidance, or whatever, and something happens to them. Sometimes, bad things happen anyway, even to the best. But if we'll only trust in Him to get us through the tough times, the dark times, He will make us stronger. He wants to make us stronger, He wants to be there for us, If we'll just let Him in to help us.

I'm not trying to preach, really. I'm just trying to help make sense of this tragedy, and bring a little hope. Please join me in praying for Project Moonlark.
