In The Blink of An Eye

Life can change in the blink of an eye. Sometimes it can be a good thing & sometimes it can be absolutely heartbreaking. Yesterday was a day of utter sadness in our community. While driving to school yesterday morning, Trisha Wood, a junior at Western Christian(Alexa's school) was killed in a car accident. Our hearts are broken for her family & friends. I didn't know her personally but she played on Alexa's soccer team. All we have to do is to put ourselves in her parents' shoes & we can't help but feel the sadness of losing a child. We've been down that road & it's devastating. We want to know the "whys" so we can make sense of the pain. We lift this family up in prayer to God to wrap His loving arms around them as they grieve this terrible loss. We also pray for all the friends & students at school as they mourn a fellow student.

We also want to pray for Rodney Lamfers & his family. He has been battling leukemia(AML) for over a year now & he did not receive a very good report this week. Please keep this family in your prayers as they decide what to do next & to seek God's will. They are also relatives of the Wood family.
