An update

Hey everyone. All is going well and life moves on faster and faster these days. Many of you know that this past summer a friend of mine died suddenly here in Greenville. That experience changed many of the ways I look at life and death and even God. I've never seen Him as powerful as I have since that time. This weekend, another young lady in our church lost her life in a car accident. She was only 16 and it really makes me realize that life is just SO short. We really do have such a short time here. It's not worth wasting. There's a verse that caught my mind today:

Romans 8:28 And we know that in all things, God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to his purpose.

Each life has a purpose. When I start to question, "Why did these 2 only get so few years?" then I can answer it with, God only intended them to have that long and, true to his nature, he doesn't reveal everything to us (Now, we see through a mirror dimly, but then we will see face to face...1 Corinthians 13).

Robbie update: So, I've been pondering alot lately (as if that is anything new :) I know, I know, I think too much!! But, it's good stuff. Robbie and I are still taking it slow and enjoying each other's company. I was especially enjoying it on Saturday night when Carolina smashed DUKE!!! I'll be home for a quick trip this weekend (no, Robbie is not coming this trip). Hope to see you soon!!!
