God Brought her Back to HIM!

As sweet Fernado's sister walked along the street with her mother, somehow her hand broke free of her mothers and she slipped. Causing her to roll into the street and a passing car had no time to stop. Her head was crushed under the weight of the car but somehow survived enough to rush her to the nearest hospital. Coban's doctors said they could do nothing for her so they flew her by plane to Guatemala City where she later died early this afternoon.
Jose Fernando is one of my favorite little students. I am pretty much nose to nose with Spiderman in his sweet little eyes. Jose will be in my Kinder class this year and is an excellent student. Please pray for him and his family as they go through this time of grief for his sister. I can't imagine the feeling of a mother's heart. Please hold them in your prayers as there will be a grief period of nine days. This is a picture of her fourth birthday I was so honored to attend. Her mother is a Christian but her father has been walking on the fence for many years. Please pray God will reveal himself through this tragedy. My heart goes out to the family. Romans 9: 14-16 What then shall we say? Is God unjust? Not at all! For he says to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion." It does not, therefore, depend on man's desire or effort but on God's mercy. For the Scripture says to Pharaoh: "I raised you up for this very purpose, that I might display my power in you and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth." It sounds harsh to read right now.. because I don't understand God's ways but I understand he works all things for the Good of his people. Please pray for the hearts who are broken right now, pray they will turn to God for comfort. I can't imagine what a hard thing it must be to have to do.
