i can't believe they're gone
you know how pretty much every day of your entire life you hear "6 o'clock news...so and so died in a car accident today on such and sich highway" or about someone dying somewhere and somehow. But we always think..."thats the kind of thing that happens to other people, not me or my friend" and then it happens to you....
I don't understand. One minute I'm at bball practice, or in Charlie Brown Christmas play, or in art class with everyone who knew her's favorite person... ♥ Megan McGrath ♥... and her two amazing, funny, God fearing and encouraging parents...and the next day... they're gone... forever.
And you think...people like that could have done SOOO much more on earth. Who lit the room everytime they smiled (which was constantly). Who made you smile everytime you talked to them. Who no matter WHAT problems they had in their lives, were ALWAYS there to help you, talk to you and pray with and for you about your problems. I just think, why would God take a beautiful 15 year old girl who no one would EVER forget after meeting her once... and her amazing parents... but leave her 20 year old brother behind... in devestation of losing his whole family in one day?
Chris needs our prayers...i need your prayers ...and so does everyone who knew the McGraths. ♥
I have asked myself everyday: Why would God let this happen? Let it happen to them? to Chris? To me? Then i have to remember, God is molding me and making me, and every test He sends in every form is to make me better equipped to do His work. No matter how hard the training may be. But the death of the McGrath's has truly changed my life.
Even though they are happier in Heaven, it is still so hard to remember them and not wish every minute that they were still with us.
Revelation 21:4 And He will wipe every tear from my eyes. There will be nore more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old way of things has passed away.
This verse has been my comfort through these hard times.
♥ praise be to God for His comfort, for only he knows my sorrow ♥
2 Corinthians 1:3-7
3 Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, 4 who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God. 5 For just as we share abundantly in the sufferings of Christ, so also our comfort abounds through Christ. 6 If we are distressed, it is for your comfort and salvation; if we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which produces in you patient endurance of the same sufferings we suffer. 7 And our hope for you is firm, because we know that just as you share in our sufferings, so also you share in our comfort.

Thank you........and your comment was at 2:56 a.m. lol, I should have stayed up and talked to you again lol. Whenever I have sleep deprivation now it's usually from talking to you.
-
yay. I'll call you, because I really want to talk!
-
:) yeah. I like it dark, much much better. I tried calling, and I left a message!
-
lol, well, it's ok with me to be sleep deprived because of that. And did you ever listen to Way back into Love?
-
oh you will always talk to me. Who else is there to talk to at 3 in the morning? lol And I knew you would like that song. So do you think we could play it though?
-
Psh, Leslie, where were you this morning at 3? lol. I usuall never stay up that late unless I talk to you. Aaaaaand if we're doing that song who's going to play the guitar?
-
lol well thats alright. Annnd it doesn't matter to me who plays it, but doesn't that song also need a bass guitar to it? I don't think any guys that go to banquet even play bass, but with that song I'm sure we could get away without it. But it doesn't matter who else is playing it, but two people have to sing it you know and obviously I can't sing good lol or else I would.
-
So what has been going on?
