A Loss for Words

How often do we Wake up and Face the Day with Just another day?
Today I woke up excited to hang with one of my best friends and work on school stuff.
Then, I got to tutor a sweet boy, who I am laughing with and the moment your heart sinks of my mom calling me Crying.
The news of an Amazing Woman and her mother were killed in a car wreck on Thurs afternoon.
I have known the Roy's for 33 years, Bro Kevin was my youth minister and now is the Education pastor at my home church.  I can remember going to  Bro Kevin and Tana's house at a very young age.  I got to meet their sweet daughter Brittany after they brought her home from the hospital.
 My mom was Brian's 2nd grade teacher!  
We have been very blessed by this family! 
Bro. Kevin and Tana have always been apart of my life and have taken time for me through the good and tough times in my life. 
 In fact, I had the privilege of babysitting their precious children Brittany and Brian.  
When I was in college Tana and my Pop worked in the same office, so I would stop by to see my Pop and always stick my head in Tana's office just to chat.  She would stop what she was doing just to visit, she new how to make you feel so special.  
Tana was so genuine and wanted to know the latest in my life.
Every time I go home I am greeted by sweet Tana with her beautiful smile and embraced with  a hug. 
She would always compliment me on either how great I looked or how she loved my outfit.
Tana, truly has impacted my life in so many ways.  I am a blessed woman who will miss walking into Denman Avenue to see her sweet smile and our chats.  I always dreamed of having Tana play at my wedding bc she had such a passion for playing the piano.  She was incredibly talented.
I'm very thankful that I will see sweet Tana in Heaven one day.
But I am reminded that we do not know what tomorrow holds, and how important it is to have a relationship with Jesus.  If you have questions about your salvation I would love to chat with you.
Also I am reminded to love more, cherish each day, and encourage others daily. 
I know that God is at work even when I am at a loss for words.  
Please pray for the Roy family as their hearts are just broken, and for others who have lost family members this week.
Psalm 34:18
The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit
God Bless,
Jenn
