Saturday Night

Lately, I have been feeling like at any given second, I could just burst out in tears.

While I know horrific, terrible things are happening all the time, it seems like lately there have been soooo many horrible, unfair, awful things in the news and newspaper and it is just making my heart hurt.

When it rains it pours? I dunno, but it sure seems like that.

On Saturday night my sister's boyfriend and his family were in Lake Chelan (where my boyfriend is from) and T and his little brother were doing some late night fishing.

They heard yelling nearby, and quickly found out that a 27-year old had gone for a late night swim, and hadn't come up. His friends were yelling for help.

T and his bro (fully clothed in sweatshirts and shoes and everything) quickly ditched their shoes and jumped in.

T dove 15 feet down and saw a white light type thing, that he thought could have been a reflection. He went down again, bringing up this guy. He was white, eyes rolled back and had no pulse.

T's brother who had just learned CPR in his health class, started doing compressions and breathing until the paramedics came. While the CPR was being done, they were praying for the man to start breathing again. He was helicoptered to a hospital where he was in a coma.

Just today I saw on T's facebook that the man is recovering and will soon be removed from the machine that is helping him breath!!!!!! HOW AWESOME IS THAT???????????

I mean, I like to think that T's reaction to just dive right in would be mine too, but I really don't know what I would do in that type of situation. I am so proud of those boys and their automatic reaction without even questioning if they would be "heroes".

So while I STILL feel like crying at all the pain and suffering in the world, I also know how GREAT our God is and he is just so much bigger than all my tears and sadness. :)
