I lost my 17 year old sister i...I know that pain... I lost my 17 year old sister in a car accident 4 years ago. I remember a very real moment of the choice I had to make. I either had to believe that out of this God could bring good and trust in him 100% or I had to deny everything I knew and I couldn't do that. A couple of weeks later while going through my sister's room we found her Bible and in it was a card that she had filled out and dated. She had accepted Christ as her Savior over the summer. I sat on the floor of that room and cried. I grew up in a Catholic family and we were not born again, but out of all my siblings she was the most like me and obviously she was the only one who was ready (besides me) to meet her Savior. Two years later her boyfriend who had horrible guilt over the accident and had then gotten into drugs and crime was in jail and through a ministry in jail he also accepted Jesus as his Savior. <BR/><BR/>God worked through this tragedy and continues to do so.<BR/><BR/>Please let the family know that they are in my prayers.<BR/><BR/>Happy belated birthday as well. You have been a blessing to my life in the last couple of months that I have been reading your blog.Theresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13416466631363738594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1636139298576673779.post-68796052208454587312007-06-15T00:01:00.000-04:002007-06-15T00:01:00.000-04:00Oh Sue, what a heart-wrenching story.

The first funeral my husband did was a 16 month old little girl that was our son's nursery playmate. We had LOTS of questions. I do know that because of Jesus our grief is so different than the world's.<BR/><BR/>Happy birthday and God Bless. <BR/><BR/>p.s. God continually placed your family unit on my heart yesterday. Throughout the day I was praying for you all.Sharihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01345700815342519859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1636139298576673779.post-65197685908660243772007-06-14T16:10:00.000-04:002007-06-14T16:10:00.000-04:00Happy Birthday, Sue.

This decade is not so bad now that I have been in it a little over a year.<BR/><BR/>This post was so powerful and brought tears to my eyes. I love John Piper and I have to tell you that I cringed at the sound of his words. I could hear the passion in them, but mostly just the truth and I frightened me for the future of our nation and my children and grandchildren.<BR/><BR/>All I could say was "Break our hearts, O God!"<BR/><BR/>I'm so sorry for the loss of this precious girl.
