man it's been crazy around here. On Saturday my good friend Ami(our pastor's wife) lost her grandparents, uncle, and dad in a horrible car accident. I'm sure you've heard something about it on the news. It happened near Houston, but the family was from the Tulsa area so it's been on the Tulsa news.
I can't imagine losing that many people at once. Losing a loved one is always hard, but when it is 4 people that you are very close to and that you adore.... and all of it so sudden.... sigh.... it makes me sick to my stomach.
So the funerals are mid next week. Im going to do my best to get up there for them. But there is so much to do here to get the Creeches's home ready for Karla(Ami's mom) who will be moving in with them. She too was in the accident and suffers from injuries. She will be in a wheelchair for a few months so we need to get the house wheelchair ready.
Sorry... this blog is more me just processing everything.
I adore my church. They have really wrapped their arms around Billy and Ami over the last couple of days and will continue to do so over the next year. Billy and Ami weren't at church on Sunday because they were on their way to Texas, so we had an amazingly intimate time of prayer and worship through song and it was just so beautiful.
We talked about Corinthians where it says when a part of the body suffers, the whole body suffers.... and that is what we are suppose to do with Ami and Bill. We are here to suffer, mourn, and ache with them.
Anyway, pray for Ami. In Psalms is says that God is close to the brokenhearted. That's all I keep thinking about when I think of her. And pray for Billy. Pray that he is her rock during this time. Also, they have two boys... one 10 and one 6. they are boys with many many questions. Pray that Billy and Ami have the patience with them to answer their questions and pray that through all this madness, God teaches them more about who He is.
