Don't even know what to say...

[kelleybucket]

It's hard to think that your life can be changed forever in one day. A girl from my school was just diagnosed with leukemia. I don't know a lot of the details yet, but man.... We were aquaintence type friends. A lot of my friends were close to her, and we talked and said hi whenever we saw eachother. She is beautiful- the blondest hair I have ever seen (never even dyed), huge smile. She is a freshman on the Varsity volleyball team. She has been with her boyfriend since she was a freshman in high school, and she just has so much going for her. She got sick, and they just thought it was a relapse of her mono, but they found out yesterday what it really was. Her life will never be the same. I cannot even imagine. It really just humbles me to think about how this can happen to anyone- even me. Like, the reasons that God would allow this to happen to somebody so amazing is beyond me. I will never understand, but I know that He has a plan. A girl in the freshman class here died on her way home for Christmas Break. Her family member's lives will never be the same. Nothing like this has ever happened in my life. I wonder how strong I would be if it ever did.......
Sorry this is such a depressing entry. I just have a lot on my mind.
Please keep Cari in your prayers. Pray for her to have strength in the Lord.

Psalm 18:30-36

30 As for God, his way is perfect;
the word of the LORD is flawless.
He is a shield
for all who take refuge in him.

31 For who is God besides the LORD ?
And who is the Rock except our God?

32 It is God who arms me with strength
and makes my way perfect.

33 He makes my feet like the feet of a deer;
he enables me to stand on the heights.

34 He trains my hands for battle;
my arms can bend a bow of bronze.

35 You give me your shield of victory,
and your right hand sustains me;
you stoop down to make me great.

36 You broaden the path beneath me,
so that my ankles do not turn.
