Threats to invincibility

Sometimes in life you just have things that hit you darn hard. So hard that you stumble a bit, get knocked down, put on your best brave face, try to ignore those skinned knees and keep going.

This week I found out one of my really close friends has been diagnosed with advanced cancer and the doctors said months to live. I'm in shock. I keep hoping I wake up and its a bad dream. We are supposed to be invincable. The worst things to happen in out 20's are supposed to be failed uni papers, broken hearts, fights with family and crashed cars. It feels like we have only just started living, we have so much to look forward to and suddenly its all been stripped away to here and now for her.

This time I'm knocked down and can't quite get back up just yet. So I'm going to stay cradled in this space, nursing my wounds calling on God and sending my petitions. Please pray.
