A slap in the face for me I guess
Yesterday I heard that Kayla had died in a car accident. (Note to self: Kayla was your 2nd cousin) Honestly I'd think this wouldn't bother me so much, but the only difference between this one and the death of other's is because I saw her only recently, and that I wanted to meet her. And the fact she was 7. The other's I've heard about were the deaths of old people, something I could understand even though it's still bothering that one's family would slip from this world.
Maybe it's a slap in the face from God. I need to get back to reality. I don't blame God, he puts lives in this world, he has every right to take them. I really hope that Kayla had a chance to know God, but I'm sure she's in His hands.
But this, in a sense, it's training for me. 18 years and still death hasn't waved its bothersome hand in my face up until now. I have something here to do on earth and I need to move on and not let this bother me. Kayla is in Good Hands, I know that much.
God doesn't allow bad things to make us feel miserable, that's what we make of it. He allows it to strengthen our minds and hearts. But to get to that level, we have to trust in Him.
