A Day to Ponder

So, this day has been pretty unexpectedly crazy. Last night my cell phone buttons quit working and I was only able to receive calls. I couldn't find numbers, check voicemail, or dial out. I was getting really frustrated cause you always want control of calling someone or having their phone numbers available. I spent the day looking for another phone and finally found a great deal but just after I bought the phone I received a call from my friend Crystal... she was at the hospital and her brother, Mason, had just committed suicide. I couldn't believe it! Crystal has been through so much and now this. It was crazy for me to think that a broken cell phone is something to get upset over. I picked her up from the hospital to take her to get something to eat. I listened to her and spoke very little cause I have NO IDEA of what that must feel like. I could just tell her that I was sorry and I prayed for her and her family. He is currently on life support for family to come up and see him but he isn't going to make it. I just don't understand things sometimes. I love Jesus so much and I put all my faith in him but I confess that I often get confused. Life is just a mystery and I don't think we are suppose to understand it but to have our faith be challenged with things like this can be overwhelming sometimes. I just hope and pray that Crystal and her family can find some good in all this. If you think of it, please say a prayer for her and her family. May God bless you all today! -Kevin
