wednesday was a tragic day, a very good friend of mine was killed in a car accident along with her three children...her husband was not in the car
my heart is heavy for him, these days...i don't know how he will survive the utter pain without a strong faith in Almighty God, Our Loving Creator
i don't understand, and i am ok with that...i know my friend & her children are in Heaven with Jesus, because we shared our love of the Lord...and i'm sure if i could contact her today, she would want to stay where she is...
her husband, on the other hand, is a man in deep deep despair...i have never seen a man just wrought with such unbearable sadness & grief...
i feel helpless, but certainly not hopeless...as a result of the obvious miracles that God has made happen in my life, i know that He can help this man as well...i just continue to lift him up and hope that He reaches out to God (please keep him in your prayers, as well)
i still (4 days later) have a hard time believing that this is a reality, i almost lost my breath this morning when i realized that the one little girl (summer's playmate) is gone, and that come next tuesday, she won't be home to call and see if she is coming to the meeting...
suddenly i am realizing that i am not invincible...
suddenly i am beginning to realize how precious life is...
suddenly i am beginning to recognize what is trully important...
i want to draw closer to God daily...
i want to be emotionally available to my friends & family...
i want to spread the message of Jesus unashamedly more now than ever...
i feel that maybe that is my ultimate purpose here on this earth, and i don't know that anyone will 'connect' with God as a result of my words, but i believe it is my duty to try....
i have been feeling that that is my purpose but now that feeling is unquestionable...
some things are still important, but none more than spreading God's word...
i almost get an anxious feeling about it, time is so short...
we cannot put it off...
i don't preach that you should "go to church" or "read the bible", altho those things are great....
my message is to ...
1~Praise God (to Him be the Glory in ALL things, good & bad)
2~Thank God (for it is because of Him that we have joy & sadness, and eternal life in Heaven)
i believe if you do these two things daily, He will hear you & you will grow in your spiritual life as He leads you...
God Bless All of YOU!
