About 30 minutes ago I spontaneously began crying and pleading with God for this man's life. As I prayed, I turned on KATU, where I suddenly knew they would be beginning an announcement.
I was sure they were going to say they had found him in bad shape but nonetheless alive. I was sure that was what God had told me when I was praying- I believed I was praying for his health.
However, the Josephine County Sheriff's Dept. tearfully announced that they located the body of James Kim. KATU should have an update soon. [Edit: it was Brian Anderson, Undersheriff of Josephine County, who was making the announcement, but became emotional and was unable to finish his sentence. OSP Lt. Greg Hastings finished the announcement for him.]
Sometimes I don't understand God. Maybe we just didn't pray hard enough or long enough. Maybe we should have fasted. Who knows?
So now I'm crying and praying for the family. Those little girls will grow up knowing their Daddy died trying to save them. He'll be their hero.
But, then again, aren't all Daddies heroes?
[Edit: KATU's story. CNN's story]
I was surprised at the announcement too. I had hopes that it would have a happy ending.
ReplyDeleteI think all "daddy's" are heroes because anyone with that title is usually a good father. But not all fathers are daddy's.
maybe God was crying with you. maybe, in this particular case, God's will was not done on earth as it is in heaven. I cry with you. Peace.
ReplyDeleteBarbara - All daddies are heroes, I guess I just hoped this one would be a living hero.
ReplyDeleteFr'nklin - Thanks for stopping by. I appreciate what you said. It's heartbreaking for me (as a wife and mother) to think that God didn't intervene here. But I trust Him.
My Daddy was my hero. I knew him from a distance only.
ReplyDeleteVery sad news story indeed...
