Day 95- What a week

I cant even begin to describe this week.
A professor of mine lost her son last week in a motorcycle accident. He was 20. Although I didnt know him I know that he was taken to early and I know his family misses him.
I was confronted with a new experience at work that I knew was coming eventually and comes with the job. It was hard to watch but I learned I had to put myself aside and care for the pt. Labor and Delivery is not exactly lollipops and roses....but when it is...thoughs are the times that I know I am doing what I was meant to do.
Yesterday Eric and I were watching the news when we found out about the tragic killing of our friend Heath Jackson. We were speechless. I couldn't believe it. I mean I had just heard him on the radio that morning on the way to target. I am not going to sit here and act like I knew him well, but my husband Eric has know him since we was a kid. I first met him in High School. Heath was suppose to lead worship at Christ Community yesterday night. I was shocked that they decided to go on the worship and have a friend fill in. It was honestly one of the most moving experiences I have ever experienced. To watch the band that was suppose to perform with Heath that night get up there and perform their hearts out not only for Heath but for their God was amazing. I know Heath was there. After we left we heard one of Heath's commercials on the radio. As much as I wanted to turn it off, we listened to it and Eric said something that kinda put things into perspective. Maybe he had performed his purpose in life. Maybe his purpose was to bring the city together for worship and mainstreem christen music in our city. All of this really just made me realize that I dont have to be old or sick to die. I could walk outside my apartment, or drive down the road and my life could be taken from me instantly. I could quite literally be gone tomorrow, as well as anyone else. I am not ready to die. Although my life has not always been the greatest I am blessed to have 22 years, two parents, a sister, and a husband. I know one day I will see Heath again...but will you? Do not wait till you are ready to live for the lord before you decide to make that decision because death doesn't wait for you to make a decision. Make it today. Prayers go out to the Parmer and Jackson family. Also to the killer of Heath Jackson. I hope we can show him the love of Jesus.
