As I write this entry my heart is heavy. Heavy. I know it has been well over a week after the world learned about the devastating accident that occurred in the life of the Chapman family, but I can not bring myself to write another blog entry without first writing about what happened to our dear family in Christ- the Chapman family.
(For those of you who might be a little late on the news (no pun intended) Grammy Award winning artist Steven Curtis Chapman, lost his just-turned-5, adoptive daughter, Maria Sue Chapman, to a tragic car accident last week.

Steven and family,
Chances are you may never read this, but in case you do, know that you have my deepest sympathies and condolences and I share and carry your pain and grief with you.
A little after I heard about the news, I decided to pull up my iTunes and listen to your album Declaration. As I came to the song God is God and began listening intently to it I began to weep as my heart filled with sadness, once more. Yet, as the song came alive in my head the answer to the question I had been asking all along came to me. The answer to the why? Why so early? Why the pain? Why so young? Why her brother? Why did God allow it? Why to this family? Why to the righteous? The answers to these questions did not come, but this became clear to me= although we may never know the answer to the why we do know one thing— God is God. He knows why it happened and He’s aware of your pain. Remember that He has full control of the situation. Can we even take a breath without God giving it to us?
In Christ,
Pablo
PS Dear friends, please take heart and remember life is short, don’t take it for granted.
