teacher died

Today has been a very CRAZY and insane day so far and it's only 12pm. First of all, I woke up late and was almost 2 hrs late to my first class (which is 3 hrs long). Parking was horrendous. I have an assignment due on Thursday in my photo class, which I had hopes of finishing in my first class, but that didn't happen, needless to say. I don't know where my student ID card is and I need it to print in the darkroom, so I decided it would be better to miss school today so I could go home and find it and finish my project. So on my way home I texted a few friends letting them know I wouldn't be at my other classes and asked them to take notes. The first girl responds by saying (well, texting) "our teacher died". I was like WHAT?! I thought she was maybe pulling my leg cause how am I supposed to know if it's true or not? I'm not in class like she supposedly is. When I asked her if she was messing with me she said she wasn't and was serious. Later I called the school to find out and they said it is true... our chemistry teacher DID die and we will have a new instructor for the rest of the semester. I'm still sitting here just stunned right now. Our teacher wasn't that old. She was married to her high school sweetheart and has two kids still at home... it wasn't expected at all. I wonder if she knew the Lord... I don't know. How sudden our lives can change when we least expect them to. When suddenly life is vanished, taken from us forever, and nothing is the same. Those poor kids. I don't know what I would do without my mom. But her kids were even younger than me! I hope God uses this to make sure the rest of her family is saved... but wow. Life really is a vapor like it says in James. And we really don't know when our last day will be... it's definitely very sobering to think about. We don't know how much time we have left. Let's try not to waste it. Use it for God's glory.
