There's something beautiful to me about weeping willow trees. 

They are so unique, and their presence portrays their name. 

Today I was captivated by this tree outside my school. 

I love the fading Fall colors, and the shape its branches make as they reach for the ground. 

Today my heart is heavy. It aches for friends and family who are hurting. It aches for the many people around the world who don't yet know the joy and peace that comes from Christ. 

My heart is heavy, yet my burdens are light...because they are not my own. 

My true, everlasting, and faithful God calls me to cast all my cares on Him, promising to take my load and make it light. Today my heart aches. But He holds it in His hands.
