In the Blink of an Eye

Yesterday we were busy planning the final details for Jeremy & Bailey's wedding.  Last night we had a very enjoyable rehearsal and rehearsal dinner in preparation for their wedding which we anticipated for tomorrow, Saturday, Dec 22.
But then last night happened.  Jeremy and the guys from his bridal party were coming home from Vancouver in our van when they hit black ice and the van rolled several times. Jeremy, Matt, and Les were treated with the precautionary measures that they take for anyone who is in a vehicle that has rolled.  Les, broke his ankle but Matt & Jeremy left with relatively minor cuts and bruises.  Their friend, Kyle, is doing well but being kept in hospital for observation  because of some injuries they want to keep an eye on. Jordan, Matt & Jeremy's cousin, is the one that we are the most concerned about.  He was airlifted to Royal Columbian with a severe head injury and is in the ICU there.
So we had to decide to cancel the wedding for tomorrow and will put it on hold until we know how Jordan is doing. Les, Jeremy & Matt have all been discharged from the hospital.
We ask everyone to please pray for everyone but especially for Jordan and his parents.
Moments like this put everything into perspective. Who would've thought when we watched Jordan practice walking in for the wedding ceremony last night at rehearsal that today we would be begging God to spare his life? Yes, things can change in the blink of an eye but we have to cling to the fact that God never changes, even if our circumstances seem to spin out of control.

"As for God, His way is perfect." (Psalm 18:30)
