1:35a - my thoughts and prayers...
I had a relaxing evening- hanging out with best friend watching CSI and the makeover show, and then heading over to Sarah's to hang out with her, Brandy and Stacey. I also had fun working with Tracie today. It definitely helped me get a lot off my mind.
My best friend James got into a car accident today. He was heading back from a game with his friends Trevor, Josh and Christian- Trevor was driving. James' mother called me around eight 'o clock, and I literally had to pull over to the side of the road and I think I sat there, numb as I listened to her explain to me what happened. To be truthful, all I heard was that he was in critical condition. She said that she had called everyone she thought would be concerned until James' younger sister mentioned my name, and she realized how important it was to call me.
I guess the realization as to how important someone is to you, despite the many miles of distance there are between you, doesn't really come until something traumatic happens to make you think about what would really happen if you lost that person. Yes, James and I don't see each other a lot -maybe if we're lucky, once a year, if that. But at the same time, we've been through a lot- maybe not together, but via communication on the internet, e-mail, and phone conversations. It just makes me sick to my stomach to think the other night he called to see how I was doing, and now, he's lying there... hanging onto life.
My thoughts and prayers are with James and Trevor, as well as their families.
The prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise them up." -James 5:15
