Death and Encouragement in the Same Day
I tell ya what, today was one of those mixed bag sort of days. Not bad. Not great. Just mixed. I'll share the two stories that made highs and lows for the day.
The low was hearing that one of the kids in my previous school passed away last night. If memory serves right, she was one of a set of triplets. I can only imagine what that family is walking in. I have said several prayers for that family tonight. While I'm glad the child is in heaven, no longer bound to a wheelchair, I am sad that we don't get to enjoy her here on Earth anymore. The good news is that they are rejoicing with her in Heaven. That. Rocks. If the memorial service is public, I plan on going down for it...
The high was hitting IHOP-KC tonight. I haven't really hit the prayer room much since school has started, and I had signed up via email for the Prophecy Rooms tonight. I won't get into too much detail, as I don't care to wig-out my readers, but I will say that I received some encouragement tonight in a way I haven't heard in a really long time. It's an amazing experience when God can use someone who doesn't know you at all and speak things that only He knows. I sit here and am in awe of how He can care about my life as He holds the universe in the palm of His hand. I also sit here tonight and know that I know that I know that I'm where I'm supposed to be. Thank You, God.
Life.
Is.
Good.

When I think of the lives she blessed through her brave countenance, I am humbled.
