Upside Down

Do you ever wake up and think about how great your day is going to be, then all of the sudden your world is flipped upside down? My day was like that.

Over the past 5 years I have been adopted into a family from my church. They treat me like their own and have helped me through more times than I can count. Three weeks ago one of the girls from the family that adopted me was turning 3. We all gathered at her families home to celebrate. While there I met a guy about 30 years old who was engaged to be married to this girls aunt. He has 3 children and one that should be here any day. It's a very exciting time for this family.

Today I received news that he passed away. He was in a work related accident. He is only 30, had 3 kids and one on the way, and a fiancé. I ask that you pray for his children, his fiancé, and all of his family.

It's days like today that really make me think if I'm actually where I want to be in life. There is no way to know when our life is going to be pulled out from underneath us. Make today count.
