On November 1st, there was a tragic car accident just south of Nanaimo – my boss Jerry’s son was in that accident, and he passed away November 2nd. My heart has ached for all those involved as this is not an easy thing in any way. And my prayer has been that they would remember Zack for who he was, his smile, his heart.

I emailed my in-laws about the accident when it happened, and asked for prayer, for myself, my work and for him and his family. They wrote back with encouraging verses from Ester – ” . . . And who knows whether you have not come to the kingdom for such a time as this?” I felt encouraged by this and was sharing with Carolyn (who I also work with) and after I told her, she chuckled as she had emailed her family for prayer and a few responded with the same verse. What an encouragment!!

Today was my first day back at work since the accident – and Jerry’s too, he just came in for a couple hours. But it was good! He shared that the service last week, was not about the loss of life, but the celebration of Zack’s life, and the young man he was. Jerry is very positive in that! I am very grateful.

God has been working in my life, and is faithful, and I am grateful! Wow, I am encouraged.
