simply heartbreaking

why do bad things happen to good people? this is the age old question that i am sure will never be answered. i just read the news that Steven Curtis Chapman (a singer/songwriter who i used to be really into)'s five year old daughter died this afternoon in a car accident. it sounds like one of their teenage sons didn't see her in the driveway as he was backing up. tragic. that poor kid. that poor family. my heart aches for them tonight.

things like this really help put my life into perspective. 30 minutes ago i was struggling with Mayden (who is sick it seems) trying to get her to stop crying and fall asleep... wondering if i'd get much sleep tonight. now im so thankful that i just might have to be up with her little coughing self all night. i will serve her with a joyful heart tonight!
