I read a newspaper article about a family of six. They were driving home from a vacation in Colorado when somehow they crossed traffic and hit a semi head on. The father, son, and one daughter were killed instantly- leaving behind the mother and two daughters. In the wake of such tragedy, one of the daughters wrote in a note to her friend:

"I just pray that a lot of good can come out of this. I am so excited to see what God wanted Mom, Avery and me to live for."

Incredible. I am in awe of God, that He wraps His arms around some so tightly that amidst tragic loss and immense pain, they feel Him all the while. I praise Him for the peace He gives and the hope that follows. Reading this article was a blessing...a reminder of what its really all about.

It made me more excited to be alive.
