I didn't really know her in high school all that well...we were acquaintances...she was precious...a cheerleader...a PAL...a WONDERFUL person and well liked by everyone! Everyone wanted to date her, be her friend, and have just a piece of the happiness she seemed to possess. Not only was Hannah Webber an amazing person and light for Christ, but she had this fairytale like family. 3 sisters and one brother, all with Bible names :), a Mom and Dad that seemed to be the most supportive parents at all of the games and events. Her Dad was a Chaplain for the Dallas Cowboys and the Texas Rangers. He was also very active with Athletes in Action alongside his wife. He also spoke to us for our Baccalaureate before graduation. John Webber passed away last week and it made me realize that I am not in this protected bubble where that could not happen to my parents.
We are not guaranteed one more minute, hour or day. Christ came so that we may have life more abundantly and I would definitely say that John Webber lived his life to honor Christ and spread his message to others. Do I do that? Do I tell the people that I care about the most how much I love them and how much God loves them? If my Dad were to pass away today, would he know that I love him more than anything and I that I am so proud of the example he sets as well? It leaves a lot to think about...go hug your Daddy and tell those around you how much Christ loves them!
We have had a marathon week as I am sure you have too! On Thursday the 13th - I was sick with an upper respiratory infection and stayed home from school, and learned that my sweet Mamaw passed away. Friday the 14th - I stayed home with my family, wrapped presents and continued to try to get well, and Matt and Lindsey flew in around 9pm. Saturday morning the 15th - we woke up, had breakfast, opened Christmas presents, ate some more, checked out our stockings, got dressed, picked up a birthday cake, headed to El Fenix, celebrated my Mom's 50th birthday with friends and family, went to Starbucks with Aunt Paula, Mom and Lindsey. Sunday - wake up, pack, take family Christmas card picture, load the car, head to Burkburnett,Texas, check in hotel, get dressed, go to the funeral home, 8pm - eat dinner and then go to sleep. Sunday - wake up, get dressed, go to funeral, eat lunch, drive home, get dressed, say bye to Matt and Lindsey, head to DBU for a grad school info session! On Tuesday - back to a class who has had a substitute for 3 days. If you have ever taught you know how tragic that is! So after school I took Anna Claire to the doctor for a horrible cough and was told to take her to x-ray for pneumonia. It wasn't, just an upper respiratory like me! Christmas party with my team, with my kids at school, CDO, etc. All in one week! WHEW! We are tired!! Nanny and Pappy's here we come :) Food, fun, family and RELAXATION.
