Taylor Haugen is now in the arms of Jesus

Psalm 56:8 You keep track of all my sorrows. You have collected all my tears in your bottle. You have recorded each one in your book.

Taylor has passed from our presence. A Mom and Dad are left grieving their only child. A team is left with a great loss. Two players of the opposing team are left with the knowledge that they inflicted the fatal injury. One coach grieves and the other regrets perhaps. How quickly life turns on us. While we may indeed ask God the question, "why?" our hearts lean into God's heart to hear his words of love and grace. I find myself thinking once again, 'how does one survive such a devastating blow without the strength of God sustaining them? I am so glad that I do not know the answer to that question.

Please pray for Niceville. We are a small community and we are grieving today. Thank you, Father, Son and Spirit, for your sustaining love and your comforting peace.
