Well, I sure experienced something crazy this Saturday. Here is the latest news on what happened. http://www.wbir.com/news/article/178222/2/Update-Name-of-drowning-victim-released and guess who was right there? Yeah, me. My friend, Courtney and I decided to hang out at the popular swimming hole that day. We had just decided to go back to the top of the rocks where our stuff was. As we sat there laughing and catching up a young girl was walking with her boyfriend at the top of a dangerous waterfall. She then slipped and fell 15 feet. A group of older women started saying “she hasn’t come up! Where is the girl!?” The boy friend was screaming and no one budged. There was a boy at the top of the falls also screaming but no one seemed to hear him. Courtney tried 911 on her cell but couldn’t get service. So I started running up the hill to find someone with cell phone service. At the very top there was a man talking on his cell. I took off and in a panic interrupted the man to ask for his cell phone, explaining to him the situation. By now she has been underwater for more than five minutes. The first time I dial 9111 I was so shaken. I dialed again and told the 911 dispatcher the situation. It took paramedics almost 30 minutes to arrive and by then all the men that were trying to pull her out had given up. They had her legs but couldn’t fight the rapids. We stayed for an hour to give our witness reports and left. They still hadn’t gotten to her. I found out later that they didn’t recover her till around 6 or 7. I can’t get her boyfriend out of my mind. He was hysterical and the pain and anguish was just unbearable. I was less than 10 feet away from him as he cried out, my heart was breaking.
Since Saturday I’ve been troubled. I really have. I can’t help but think “did she know Jesus?”. Sounds like something a child would say I know, but it’s at the back of my mind. If not, she’ll spend eternity away from God- something I can’t even imagine. This has my wheels turning and I keep thinking of my family members. That could have been them. This could have been me or Courtney. The question for myself is am I doing all I can do to lead my friends and family to Christ? Do I live like I could die at any moment or a family member could be taken away an day? We have to noticed that life is a vapor! James 4:14 Who do you know that doesn’t know Christ? Are you praying for them every chance you get? I know I am! If I loose someone close I want to have that peace that they really are in a better place. The most important question is … do you know Christ? Do you realize that you are sending yourself to Hell without him? Jesus has already died for your sins, all you have to do is give him your life. He is waiting for you to become a part of his family. Just accept. Selah
The second thing I learned from that day is that God is here, with us, even when it seems he isn’t. As the men tried to pull her out of water a woman runs up the hill and says “is anyone a preacher!?” I wasn’t trying to be rude but I said “Why?” Anyone around would probably call me the atheist of the group. I was just simply confused as to why we needed a preacher. She answers “We need a preacher to pray!” I answered her saying “Anyone can pray!”. This is where I was reminded of how we can have a close intimate relationship with God. He is not a distant, isolated God like many religions believe. I don’t have to do good deeds or work extra hard for God to hear my prayers. I am thankful for a God who loves me and doesn’t distance himself! He is right here, right now. and is willing to talk to us, right here, right now.
Please keep the family in your prayers.
