he's home.

Last night I got word that a 10th grade guy, Jamie, who was apart of the youth group I work with died in a car accident early saturday morning. Him and his brother were driving back home from an after party of their Jr/Sr banquet (prom). The brother lost control of the car and ran off the road hitting a tree killing Jamie at the scene.

I help out with the youth group, and although I did not know Jamie, I am close with the 10th grade girls and some of them were taking it pretty hard. It is just something that you do not expect and its hard to grasp the understanding and the meaning behind it. God does have a bigger plan and wanted Jamie home with Him. But it is just still so hard to understand..in the moment.

This goes back to an earlier post about you know, we have to live each day with no regrets- living sold out for Christ, making those "right" decisions, being obedient to Christ, loving others and taking every opportunity to share His love with others - through actions and words. Because you never know when you will be called to go home for eternity.

This has happened too many times this year for me i guess - hearing of people's deaths and how they were all so young and theres no reason that i should be here right now, and not home with my heavenly Father. It just reminds me even more to live more for Christ and to really focus on the every moment of the day- making the most of every moment.

Jamie's brother really needs a lot of prayer right now. As him being the driver he is taking all the blame and really reacting really hard to the whole situation. and i mean who wouldn't. but it's going to take a long time for him to recover and understand and not blame himself. I cannot even imagine what he is going through. May these many prayers help him see God through this even more than before.

So, ah....live moment by moment all in the glory of God.

day.night.all.for.Him.
