When I heard the news this morning of the great loss to the Chapman Family...my heart really ached for them. Having a daughter the same age as Maria...it really helped me identify with the pain & loss this family is going through...my heart still hurts deeply for them!!!
This event has really caused me to slow down today and evaluate how much time goes by each & every day with my children when not one encouraging word is spoken or a big hug is given just to say "I Love You and I'm so very proud of you"!! I pray that the Lord will allow this tragedy to turn the heads & hearts of many parents...remembering how important it is to keep their focus on the Lord and their family...how much their children need their time!!! Our lifestyles today are so hectic & busy...we rely on tomorrow entirely too much and we can truly see how quickly our families lives can change in an instant. All the things of this world...the material things we all desire...the things that distract us from the true gifts & blessings the Lord has given to each of us...our loved ones deserve our time & devotion. We are all only here but a second...may we all make that time really count and bring Love to our families and Glory to our Lord.
I know the Lord has a perfect plan for the Chapman family and He has a great purpose for allowing their son to endure this pain & loss in such a personal way. The annointing on this young man's life must be incredible with the work he will carry out for the Lord...the hearts he will minister to. I pray the Lord will strengthen this family in a way they have never known yet...and that they would truly have the peace that passes all understanding!!
The Zradio had some great verses on there today...

Oh goodness. I couldn't stop thinking about it. I kept seeing different ways to learn and apply the teachings of this tragedy to my own life. What a devastating loss for this family. Cinderella will always have new meaning for me. I know she is with the Lord in heaven now. God rest her soul.
