THINGS HAPPEN IN THIS WORLD - YOU TRY TO SIT BACK AND MAKE SENSE OF THEM - THIS SITUATION IS NO DIFFERENT - AS A PERSON THAT STRONGLY BELIEVES IN GOD I HAVE HAD A VERY HARD TIME WITH THIS WHOLE SITUATION - WHEN IT FIRST HAPPEND I SAT BACK - SAW THE LOVE FOR THIS YOUNG LADY - I WAS TRULY INSPIRED AND AMAZED BY WHAT I SAW - UNDENIABLE LOVE AND UNBREAKABLE FRIENDSHIP - EVEN THOSE WHO NEVER MET HALEY (LIKE ME) HAVE BEEN TOUCHED BY HER AND HER BEAUTIFUL GROUP OF FRIENDS AND FAMILY - THEN AS THIS PASSED THIS YEAR I DIDN'T THINK THAT IT WOULD HIT ME THE WAY THAT IT DID - I STARTED TO QUESTION THINGS - WHY? - FOR A COUPLE DAYS BEFORE THE MEMORIAL SERVICE I WAS JUST IN A REAL WEIRD MOOD - ONE THAT I CAN'T EXPLAIN - I STARTED MAYBE DOUBTING MY BELIEFS WONDERING THAT IF GOD WAS SO GREAT THEN WHY THIS? - I HAD SUCH A HEAVY HEART - THEN I WENT TO THE MEMORIAL SERVICE AND AS BEAUTIFUL AS IT WAS TO ME I STILL HAD SOME OF THOSE FEELINGS - THEN ON WEDNESDAY WITH THOSE FEELINGS STILL INSIDE I FINALLY OPENED UP TO SOMEBODY AND TALKED TO THEM ABOUT IT - IT REALLY FELT GOOD TO JUST GET IT ALL OUT - SOMETIMES THE BEST THING IS TO JUST TALK (AND CRY) UNTIL YOU JUST CAN'T DO IT ANYMORE - THOUGH RIGHT AFTER THAT CONVERSATION I FELT GOOD, I DIDN'T EXPECT WHAT HAPPEND NEXT - I WENT TO THE PHARMACY AND AS I WALKED OUT THIS STRANGE PERSON CAME FROM AROUND A CORNER OF THE STORE AND WALKED UP TO ME - (REMEMBER, MY FAITH IN GOD IS VERY STRONG - BUT I HAD SOME QUESTIONS AT THIS TIME)THEY SPOKE - " DO YOU BELIEVE THAT THE LORD IS OUR SAVIOR AND THAT WE LIVE FOR HIM?" I IMMEDIATELY ANSWERED "YES! WITHOUT A DOUBT." THEN THEY LOOKED INTO MY EYES - WAITED A SECOND AND SAID " I JUST WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT GOD WILL NEVER GIVE YOU MORE THAN YOU CAN HANDLE - HE WILL ALWAYS BE BY YOUR SIDE, HE WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU." I FROZE - WENT INTO A ZONE FOR A MOMENT -THEN THIS PERSON JUST KIND OF DISAPPEARED FROM WHEREVER THEY HAD COME FROM. I WENT TO MY CAR AND SAT THERE FOR A MOMENT WITH TEARS ON MY FACE AND GRABBED MY BIBLE AND SAID "THANK YOU" OUT LOUD - YOU SEE, SHE HASN'T LEFT US, BUT ONLY IN THE PHYSICAL SENSE - SHE IS STILL IMPACTING THOSE WHO DON'T EVEN KNOW HER - SHE CONTINUES TO HELP SO MANY - WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO SEE HER - BUT SHE IS WORKING FOR GOD, LIKE SHE ALWAYS HAS, AND I CAN SEE HER IN EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU.

I MAY HAVE HAD A MOMENT OF WEAKNESS - BUT HALEY HELPED - HELPED ME THROUGH A TIME - SHE MADE ME DOUBT - MADE ME RAISE QUESTIONS - THEN GOD REASSURED ME - WITH THE HELP OF HALEY, GOD TAUGHT ME ANOTHER LESSON - MADE MY BELIEF THAT MUCH STRONGER -

ISAIAH 41:13
FOR I AM THE LORD, YOUR GOD, WHO TAKES HOLD OF YOUR RIGHT HAND AND SAYS TO YOU, "DO NOT FEAR, I WILL HELP YOU!

GOD BLESS THE FAMILY AND FRIENDS OF HALEY URBIN - YOU WILL ALL CONTINUE TO BE IN MY PRAYERS -
