i woke up this morning to bits and pieces of some story about steven curtis chapman's family on the radio. as i listened more intently, i was heartbroken by what i heard.

wednesday evening, maria sue, steven curtis chapman's youngest daughter was hit by a car in her very own driveway. she was airlifted to the hospital but the Lord chose to take her home.

i've never hurt so much for someone i didn't know. every time i think of this little five year old girl, tears stream down my face. and the fact that i am so hurt makes me really feel for their family. they need all the prayer they can get. i can't even imagine how hard this must be for them. please pray that God would shower them with comfort and peace in this difficult time.
