I was deeply challenged today. It lasted for about an excruciating 30 minutes. I cried, I felt extremely nauseous, dizzy, and heavy!
Casey Anthony: Not Guilty.
I will not lie, I was hurt. I think she killed her daughter; I cannot understand the verdict. Let every soul be in subjection to the higher authorities, for there is no authority except from God, and those who exist are ordained by God. - Romans 13:1 Immediately I was convicted.
Just last week I wrote an article about judging, and there I was sitting indian style on my living room floor, balling my eyes out because I felt there was no justice for baby Caylee. I judged the verdict was WRONG! Precious two year old Caylee... Having three daughters, ages 6, 3 and 8 months I just could not understand. And if not guilty of murder, then some serious neglect! If one of my daughters go missing for one minute, I am flipping out, ready to call the police! Trust in the LORD your God with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. - Proverbs 3:5 This is the scripture the Lord immediately gave me. Thank you Jesus.
Crazy thing is about ten minutes before the verdict was read, I was praying for Casey. Praying that she would repent and be forgiven by God. Then, my heart turned cold when I learned she would probably walk. Lord forgive me. Gods grace fell upon me and turned my heaviness into praise. I worshipped and praised Him as He revealed to me, that in fact He is a JUST GOD!
At the end of the day, I was not a juror in the case, I am not a judge. I am a lady. I am a wife. I am a mom. I am a daughter of GOD. And I trust Him and thank Him for His peace that surpasses all understanding. I truly need it!
Beautiful baby girl Caylee. A sweet toddler filled with wonder and hope. Love and trust.
If your heart is hurting like mine for her, take comfort that she is on the lap of Jesus. Living and giggling as innocently precious as ever.
Dance with the angels baby Caylee... Dance with the angels.....
Tanya thank you for sharing your thoughts on Casey Anthony. Your words are exactly what I was feeling too. Every time I hear her name or see something posted I feel again. We all know she did it however there is nothing we can do because we are not the juror or the judge, God is. He will take care of Casey. I prayed that she would get life in prison, because I dont believe in the death penalty and have also been praying that God will intervene in her life and show her what she is missing. Your words brought some comfort. Thank you
