I’ve been thinking all day about how quickly life can change. In the blink of an eye - a phone call, a conversation, an email - in a split second everything can change…
Life is such a beautiful and miraculous gift…but, so fragile too.
Your baby can become ill (please pray for my nephew Kael), and your world can revolve around his health and care. Your spouse can leave. A loved-one can die suddenly…
In a given day, a myriad of possibilities can unfold…some beautiful - some devastating…
It can seem so random…so out of control. I don’t want to pretend that I have all the answers to the obvious questions that these situations bring up - “Why do bad things happen to good people?” - but, I do believe that God has a plan…
It’s just that sometimes in the midst of the surreal unfoldings of these life-altering moments, it can seem like there is no plan…no sense…no mercy.
I do know that we were not created to live like this. We were made for the Garden…for living in harmony and beauty to bring joy and praise to our Creator. We were not made for this harsh and barren fallen-world.
So, this side of Heaven, we live in our fragile state - being “precariously perched” above the next moment of exhilaration…or disaster.
But, no matter how random or out of control life can seem, we are never outside of the reach of our Father…our Creator who made us to live in harmony and beauty…
- Please pray for the Vaught family - specifically, for Lauren. If you know Diane, then she has probably prayed for you. She has comforted you if you’ve experienced a loss. God has used her to speak His grace and mercy into countless lives in the midst of grief. She needs us to do that for her now. Please pray for her daughter, Lauren. Pray for Divine Intervention…pray for strength and healing. Just pray. God knows. God hears.
We need each other.
Thank you, in advance, for your prayers.
Peace…peace.
