Jamaica You Are In My Prayers!
Wednesday, May 26, 2010As many of you know, I am half Jamaican. My family and friends reside there. You may or may not be aware, but the tragedy unfolding in Jamaica right now is becoming a wider crisis of organized crime, armed violence and political corruption. Unfortunately, this problem runs very deep and it would be impossible for me to explain it all.
My heart goes out to those in critical condition. Condolences to the families of those who have lost their lives. I pray that my cousins in Kingston remain safe as well as the innocent people who can no longer leave their homes due to the shootings and violence taking place. I pray that God will watch over Jamaica during this hard time and that this mess will soon be behind us.

My prayers are for all of your families and the people of Jamaica. Sunshyne, please keep us posted on the well-being of your relatives once this difficult time passes.
ReplyDeleteAs a 100% Jamaica, born and raised on the other side of Jamaica, my heart goes out for my fellow Jamaicans. My family & friend are no where near Kingston, but one love for all Jamaicans my countrymen. I will keep all a you in my prayers! May God be with us all and have mercy on our country.
ReplyDeleteSunshyne, I am going to put your family name on the prayer list at my church this coming Sunday. I do pray all is over quickly in Jamaica.
ReplyDeletePraying with you sis. I'm also half Jamaican as well. I call myself a Jamerican. My grandma, grandpa, great aunts & uncles and many cousins are all over there. So they're constantly on my mind and heart. I'm not worrying, because I'm trusting God to keep our loved ones safe and bring an end to this senseless violence. I have a friend who keeps us updated on Facebook all day because she made a trip recently and is still over there. She said she woke up a day or so ago to gun shots. So I am truly praying hard.
ReplyDeleteThank you everyone for your comments and prayers. I haven't heard from my cousins yet to see if they are okay but I will keep you all updated on what I hear.
