As dawn breaks the long sleepless night is finally over. I pray that this new day will bring me closer to God and my family. I am drained. Spent physically and emotionally. For someone like me who arrogantly relies so heavily on being strong at all times for those around me, those loved ones and friends who depend upon me to lead them in the face of any challenges that come our way, I must confess that for the first time in my life I am truly broken. Clueless. Frozen in place not knowing were to fight back against what is before us. Maybe that is exactly the lesson God wants me to take away from this tragedy. As the oldest of nine Wilburn kids I saw each of my bothers and sisters enter this world. Robin Wells was the first one of them to die. I was helpless this time to be there to help her, to protect her, to defend her, to comfort her and those close to her, I could not do a single thing this time to make everything OK for her. But God was there for her, her family and friends were there for her and Melody. So it is beginning to dawn on my in this new day that God that given me to lead by following Him. Relying on Him rather than my own perceived strengths. Thank you God for breaking me so completely. I have no ability to cope with this tragedy other than relying on Your promise through Christ Jesus, that I will be reunited with her in heaven. Nothing else makes any sense to me. Please continue to pray for me and mine as we prepare to gather together to grieve and to celebrate Robins life. Blessings!
