As I sit here this morning, I am realizing how fragile life is. I find myself very tired from the events of last night (more on that later) and almost frustrated that my kids are running around playing and loud. However, I've had to stop and remember that life is short and I must enjoy these times with them as they will soon pass.Last night I received terrible news that a friend from high school killed himself. WOW, words aren't enough to express my shock and sadness. He left behind a wife and three children. I've been up most of the night praying for their sweet family and find peace in knowing that they KNOW the Lord, and so did he. Romans 8:38 reminds me that "For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord." I find my solice in that verse remembering when Casey accepted Christ as his Savior. No matter what was going on in his life to trouble him, I know that death hasn't separated him from his Savior. Casey is with the Lord.
Shortly after receiving the news about Casey last night, my parents had a wreck. A drunk driver hit them going at least 80 miles per hour. After some time in the ER, my mom is okay but is very sore. Again, a reminder to not take life for granted; it can end at any given moment....they were only 2 blocks from their home.
As I finish this blog for today I would like to end with 2 Samuel 22:2 "The Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; The God of my strength, in Him I will trust, My shield and the horn of my salvation, My stronghold and my refuge." I am so thankful for my salvation and I'm thankful that I came to that knowledge as a child//before my wordly wisdom could take root. Although I don't always understand the happenings on this earth, I take comfort in knowing that He is in control. I don't have to be! I don't want to be!
