Hokie Pride


Today we are all Hokies
April 16th, 2007


Some things I just don't understand... having to write "deceased" beside two names on a roster this morning and knowing these are people with families and loved ones and not just a name and number on a page..... this is a situation that no one can really understand... and perhaps one you'd rather not want to understand...

All I know right now is I don't agree with "this was apart of God's plan" answer... I know that the loving God that I serve is just as heart broken as every parent who has lost a son or daughter... as they too are His children... and I know "where was God?"....He was right there in the stairwell or classroom crying with each and every student and feeling each and every bullet... that's all I really know right now and all I need to know... that God was there and He is here now

"no one deserves a tragedy... we are strong we are brave we are innocent and unafraid..."

there's so many diffrerent feelings flying around all over ... even when there's nothing going on .... never the right thing to say and the "cheesy christian phrases" never help us cope with the things that only prayer and comfort from the Lord can. so many bible verses run through my head throughout the day and man... what a great thing, but do I remember those verses when something is wrong? ... it's a challenge, but the Lord is consistantly with us ... no matter what... He was there then and is now and forever! love you sister! and many praise to God for never leaving our side!!
