Shock & Grief

Our celebration of Tami's Dad was soon over as we left town last night and learned that his sister was killed in an auto accident just two hours into her trip home. And, to think that not just a couple of hours earlier we shared hugs and anticipation of other times together.  We are still shocked as we grieve her loss.

How precious and fleeting this life is...and loss has a way of thrusting us into many deep and otherwise unfathomable places.  Places where only God can meet us.

Ironically (or perhaps not), I heard this quote by A.W. Tozer earlier yesterday morning:

When I realize that everything that happens to me is designed to make me more like Jesus, a lot of anxiety is relieved.

–– A.W. Tozer
