So Unexpected...

A good friend of mine lost his sister this weekend. A week ago, she started to have flu like symptoms and Saturday night she died. The doctor say it was a staff infection that caused her body to go septic and her organs began to shut down from there. She was 46 years old, a runner and in good health. She leaves behind a husband and three kids, ages 15, 12, and 8.


"I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. 15 My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place. When I was woven together in the depths of the earth, 16 your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be. "
Psalm 139:14-16


I am grieving with my friend. And I do not understand. No one can possibly understand the mind of God in times like this. Parents are not supposed to bury their children. Children of such a young age should not have to bury their parents. And yet I know God is there with this family and greiving and caring for them like only God can do.

I am thankful that God has seen it all and is greeting my friends sister, having lived all the days ordained for her.
