Why

We often times question our life & things that happen to each of us personally.  "Why" is a question that I have had on my mind since my friends husbands death on Saturday evening.  I just haven't been able to get that question mark out of my head.  I have tried the past few days to make sense of everything but I don't think I ever will.  All I know & can say that is truth is that it was somehow in God's plan although we don't want or know how to just except that right now.

Yesterday I road down to the funeral with 2 of my friends & we would have moments of just talking aloud, then quick moments of silence as we would feel our friend Julee's heartache.  We actually passed the spot where the crash took place & it just took my breath away as I gripped the wheel.  I just simply can't imagine or do I have words to explain that tragedy.  

We were listening to the radio before we approached that spot & this song came on.  It's been a song in my life right now that I wanted to share because it's on the radio a lot & has just touched my soul personally through the past several weeks of my life that I have been going through some hard times.

Us girls softly sang it quietly in the car.

The funeral was televised yesterday, if you follow Julee you probably watched it live.  I had several people say they caught it even from Canada.  The important thing to remember about the service was that Matt was a Christian man, he lived a life for Christ, loved his family, daughter & sweet baby girl Preslee.  My heart is with Julee, I just hurt for her.  No words... 

There are so many wonderful people doing donations, I am working on a few right now.  But go over to Kelly's Korner and have her sign you up for a day to have letters mailed to Julee.  What a great thing to partake in!  It's the small things that matter the most, she will love reading them.

I also have to add that our friend Jennifer is one amazing woman & friend.  She was with her since the day of the crash & stayed until yesterday after the funeral, talking her through this, being there, & loving her.  She is one great friend & we all adore her.  Please read her journey HERE.  Jennifer, I love you girl, thank you for being such an amazing woman of Christ.  

I sent this verse to Julee & thought I would share it's very dear to my heart.

The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and he helps me. My heart leaps for joy, and with my song I praise him.  – Psalm 28:7
