Heavy Heart

I have a heavy heart this morning. It has remained with me since I heard of a friend's daughter passing away on Sunday. This 12 year old little girl was involved in a 4 wheeler accident on Saturday, was air flighted to Round Rock, and passed away early Sunday morning. Her death is haunting me. To imagine the loss of my own child is unbearable. I pray I will never experience this. To simply say my heart aches for my friend Tonya would not come close to accurately describing it. I find myself wanting to jump in and do something that will make it all better. Nothing can do that. Nothing can take this pain away from her. I praise God that He has promised to carry us through any and everything. He will not leave nor forsake us. I am certain Tonya knows this and is holding tight to her Savior. This has hit close to home and it has left me wanting to gather my children and never let them out of my sight. But I know there are dangers that I can not protect my children from. This world has pain and suffering and ends in death. But PRAISE God we have the hope of salvation and eternal life through Jesus Christ. I will praise his name and all glory is His.

I leave you with pictures of Tonya and her daughter Kenzie. Pray for this family today, tomorrow, and for many days to come.

Kenzie

UPDATE: There was another little girl involved in the accident. Her name is Hallie. She has broken bones and bruises, but otherwise is okay physically. She will most likely suffer longer from emotional wounds. Please pray for Hallie as she deals with the death of her friend Kenzie.

If you feel led to do something, Tonya has asked that all memorials be given to her church in Leander. She has asked that the donations go to the youth/children's program for camp scholarships. Here is the information....
