A sad beginning

Well, this isn't how I wanted to start my blog, but I suppose that a blog is about anything, right?

Today I found out someone I went to college with has passed away suddenly. Apparently, he was out running and collapsed. He leaves behind a wife and 2 young girls. I am heartbroken. I am in shock. This man had encouraged me, and helped me get back to Bethany. While I was there, he made sure I was settled and he continued to pray for me and he continued to encourage me. He was such an incredible man of God and he loved his family.

I am so heart broken for his wife and daughters. I can't imagine what it would be like for her. And now to think about it, I don't want to go through it. And the sad thing is, I might have to. One day, I might have to go through the loss of my husband. I might have to explain to my kids why daddy isn't coming home. That scares me to death. I know that we are merely mortal, and one day we will die, but it does scare me to think it could be sooner than I think.

Tonight as I pray, I will also pray for Natasha and her little girls. Please pray for them as well.
