Prayer

Do you ever just wonder why? Why things happen?

As we’re driving to Florida, I checked my Facebook and found out some terrible news. A guy I grew up with, going to church with and such was killed in a wreck back home tonight.

I’m in shock right now, I’m just so sick of death. So sick of it, even though it’s a grim reality. He was 19 years old. The same age Ed was. It breaks my heart. I didn’t really see him or talk to him much after like 8th grade, but occasionally around town I’d see him. He still had the spunk he always did, even though he kind of turned into a bad boy he still was Chris to me. He was a good guy, even though he took the bad boy route. We went on Youth trips together growing up and such. He’s just Chris Owens to me, goofy Chris.

Why that’s what I keep asking?
Was there anything I could of said or done?
Oh why....I had no clue you were masking a troubled soul, God only knows what went wrong and why you’d leave the stage in the middle of a song.

I’m just praying so hard for his family right now, because I know that him and his parents weren’t very close, but I’m trusting in the Lord to grant His family grace and peace. 

Death is so real, and the enemy can use this to get ahold of us but thank God that I’m getting so much stronger in my faith and I won’t let satan do that to me. I feel like lately in life I’ve been completely surrounded by death, I don’t know what the Lord is trying to show me. Maybe it’s that we forget so often how precious life is, how tomorrow isn’t promised, and how the Lord can call us home anytime. We need to share His love with everyone, because God is something we don’t want to miss out on.

Now my life is in your hands.
On your every word I stand
I’m finding who I am in all you are.

My life is in the Lord’s hands, but if we cling to him he will keep us strong.

“Though he brings grief, he will show compassion, so great is his unfailing love.” Lamentations 3:32

“And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good; for those who are called according to his purpose.” Romans 8:28

Keep praying.

Love you guys.
