You Never Know

Nicole Porter, 25, of Branson died Tuesday evening from injuries sustained in a serious car accident on Monday. I was sitting in class yesterday when I heard people telling various stories of the car accident story. I didn't pay much attention until they mentioned Nicole's name. The name sounded so familiar, then I remembered.

I used to work with her. When I matched her name with the face I immediately began to pray for her salvation. Why? The last time I saw Nicole she was roaming around lost in this dark world. The lifestyle choices she was making clearly indicated she wasn't following God's path.

I find myself saddened today, wondering if the opportunity ever presented itself for her to know God. I find myself saddened that she has two small children that no longer have a mother. I find myself grateful that when God pursued me I finally gave into him and stopped living the destructive lifestyle I was living. I am so lucky!

Pray for her family. Pray for her friends. Pray for the future of her children, and that all relish the opportunity to know The Lord.
