Before I get back ready to go to work, I want to share something that has been weighing on my heart for the past week. Last week I heard about a freak accident that happened to girl I went to college with. Her name was Julia Tarter and no I wasn't best friends with her nor a true friend. She was simply someone that I tutored a couple of times a week during my last semester of college and had met during recruitment her freshmen year when I was a Pi Chi. She was very involved with her sorority as well as young life on campus. Just talking to her, you knew that she had a great spirit and whose relationship with the Lord was something to be envied.
About a week ago she was involved in a car accident. She was leaving her house to return to school when she realized she had left something in the house. She jumped out of the car before putting it in park and when she noticed that the car was starting to roll down the drive way, she tried to jump back in it in order to stop it. While trying to correct her mistake, she got pinned in-between the car door and the fire hydrant. She alerted the neighbors that she was in danger by reaching in the car and honking the horn. By the time the medics arrived, Julia had gone into cardiac arrest and was immediately taken into the hospital where she slipped into a coma. After a couple of days, she still had no brain activity and yesterday late afternoon she passed away.
I am not going to lie by saying that I cried a little when I heard the news of her passing. I just do not understand why these things happen. The good always die young. always. It just is not fair. During the week that followed her accident, I learned something though. I learned what the power of community can do. The amount of support that sprang up from every aspect of Julia's life was overwhelming. It shows that she had the most beautiful soul and that she is an angel that was truly welcomed into His Kingdom last night. My heart and prayers go out to the family and friends affected and may God ease their pain. And in the words of a wise friend, "We have to be thankful for the time we have and the beautiful people that fill our lives."
Good lord about Julia's accident. That is terrifying and sickening to hear to about. You truly cannot help but think "if she had just not forgotten something, this would have never happened". It's hard NOT to question why this HAD to happen and in such a bad way. They say everything happens for a reason and we just have to believe in God's plan
ReplyDeletethanks for your sweet comment. your so right--even in the wake of things, you have to believe that things happen for a reason and that GOD knows what he is doing <3
DeleteA day at the pool sounds like a good way to end the weekend!
