I have heard the news about Brent Bigger and his family...I'm just in shock. I didn't know him personally, although I did meet him when he was traveling in a quartet. I remember that he was T-A-L-L! And a very nice guy, what you might describe as a "gentle giant!"
And now, after a day of sight-seeing in the North Carolina mountains last Friday, there's a tragic accident and his wife and children are gone! How does someone recover from this? How would I be able to go on without my husband and two boys? I've been trying to put myself into his shoes and I don't like the feeling I'm getting!
There was no chance to say good-bye, no time to say all those things that needed to be said...and then the guilt that must be washing over him. I just have to stop!
God is sovereign, right? Isn't that what we believe? He doesn't give us more than we are able to bear, right? How much should one man have to bear? They had barely started living! Their family was just getting started...the questions this man must have for God. Is it right to question Almighty God? So many emotions all flying through my mind and heart right now.
Trust...faith...belief...rest...peace...love...trust...faith...over and over again those words go across my mind. Trust and faith are the ones that come most often because those are what it's going to take to get through this tragedy, if you can ever get "through" something like this.
A beautiful day spent together, an accident in a vehicle, and lives are forever changed.

I can't wrap my mind around it either. Those of us who have our families with us are so blessed!
They lived here for several years - such a wonderful couple.
I too have thought a thousand times how his grief must be about more than he can bear - my heart just breaks for him. Another HSBC alumni put it so well on her Facebook, she said something like "Today I am going on with my life while Brent is burying his" - I am sure that has to be how he feels...I do know that God can and will sustain him.
