I don't think this school year can get any worse.
Can it? I don't see how. I have experienced more death this one school year than I have in my ENTIRE life. It's moments like these when I question my belief in God. I'm not Bible-hugger, but I do indeed have religious beliefs. But, how can God allow events like these to take place? It's sickening to me. For me, this is worse than when Blake died. These girls are people I have had contact with, went to school with, rode the bus home with in 8th grade, played WAYA softball and kickball with...it's still hard for me to wrap my head around what's happened.
When I found out, I went into complete shock. My appetite was lost completely and I went through a bout of indignant denial. And for some odd reason, I felt alone. Like I was the only one in the whole world who knew. I can't describe it. It wasn't until I went on to Facebook and saw all the status changes did I finally feel my shock pass.
I don't believe this school year can get much worse. Knock on wood. But you know.. as I reread this post, a much more comforting quote from a film comes to mind.
"The truth of God's love is not that he allows bad things to happen. It's His promise that He'll be here with us when they do."
Wow, that sounded like a sermon. But I mean it.
