heavy

over the weekend i went to the funeral of a co-worker's daughter who was killed in a fatal car accident on november 19th. 

when we got the e.mail from our principal on thursday i couldn't help but think of this verse...

I prayed for this child, and the LORD has granted me what I asked of him.  I Saumuel 1:27

(i LOVE that verse!!  i pray A LOT for our little hun-nee and that verse is forever on my mind as i think about him.  i am finding myself to be a little disappointed at the end of each day, because i keeping hoping that TODAY will be the day we get to see the sweet face of our son.  i fully trust in God's perfect timing and i'm ok waiting...  i am just so ready to see what the God has for us!! )

and then i thought about the next verse...

So now I give him to the LORD. For his whole life he will be given over to the LORD.” And he worshiped the LORD there. 

this verse hit hard this week.  i pray and pray and pray for our little hun-nee... for him, his family, for peace for his family-that they will somehow "know" he is loved and well cared for, for his transition to our family, for wisdom for evan and me...i pray for so much, everything i can think of except for this.

i know ezekiel is God's but in light of this recent tragedy, it is hard to think that we are not guaranteed anything.

wines family you all are in our thoughts and prayers!

this afternoon we found out that another staff member's dad died of a heart attack.  she found out while getting a cautionary check up after being in a car accident this morning.  she is due with her first baby very soon...

stefanie, you are also in our thoughts and prayers

 this school year has been a hard year...if i am completely honest there haven't been a lot of great days. situations like these cause you to put things into perspective.  though it has been a stinky year, i am very blessed to work with great people at fairhill.
