Faith's Song Page #2

You know I don't like

people here this late.

Just take care of this.

- Alright.

Jade, what are you doing here?

- Chris, I'm pregnant.

- What do you expect me to do?

It's not my responsibility.

You can take care of it.

You guys got a lot of money.

- What?

- I got too much on the

line to deal with this.

Just go, get outta

here, just go.

- I have

nowhere else to go.

Wait, please, wait.

Please come back, I have

nowhere else to go, please?

- I'll see you

all Sunday morning

where we'll worship together

and remember, God is good

- All the time.

- All the time,

- God is good.

- I really did have

a nice night tonight.

Thank you for dinner.

- You know, you and Faith

really mean the world to me.

- We love you, too.

- How have you put up

with me all these years?

- I guess I'm a saint.

- Greg, Greg, are you okay?

Greg, are you okay?

- Get her out of there.

Careful, pull up, okay?

- I really like the

songs you have planned.

I've never heard

some of them before

but I'm sure they're gonna be

a really bit hit with everyone.

- The choir's excited.

Just trying to keep it fresh.

Can't sing the same

songs week after week.

- You'd be surprised, we've

sang the same five songs

every Sunday and Wednesday

for three months straight.

- That's why you hired me

as the new music minister.

- Have you guys started

on that math homework yet

because I'm completely lost.

- I was hoping

you'd help me out.

- Math is easy.

I got an A on my last math test.

- Okay, smart one, do you

even know what algebra is?

- No, but from the sound of

it, neither do any of you.

She's got a point.

- Hey, neighbor.

- Hey.

I have some horrible news.

Greg and Carol, they've been

in a horrific car crash.

Are they okay?

- Carol, she's in

serious condition

but Greg, I'm afraid

he didn't make it.

- Oh my God, Faith.

- Hey, this is Pastor Mark.

What, when?

Where?

Oh my gosh, yeah, I'll

be there right away.

Oh God, please help this family.

- What is it?

- It's Greg and Carol,

there's been an accident.

- Alright, tell me what we got.

- Female, mid-40s,

internal bleeding,

BP, 85 over 60, heart

rate is weak and running.

She's lost a lot of blood.

We've already given her

two liters of fluid.

- Gotcha, we got it from here.

Let's get her to O.R. now.

- Hi, is there any word

on Carol Bolin yet?

- No sir, she's

still in surgery.

If you'd like to take a

seat at the waiting area,

we'll notify you when

there's any updates on her.

- Okay, thank you.

- Bolin Family?

- Oftentimes, we feel

as though we're entitled

to a certain number of days

or years on this Earth.

This is part of what makes

Greg and Carol's death

so much more difficult to bear.

One thing I need to

remind you, though,

is the Bible makes

no such promise.

As a matter of fact,

the Book of James,

in the fourth chapter,

tells us that our life

is just a vapor that's here

today and gone tomorrow.

Psalms Verse Nine and 12

teach us to number our days

so that we may gain

a heart of wisdom.

Death is always near us,

walking beside each of us

as a constant companion and

many of you that are here today,

you know that all too well.

You realize that the only

reason you're still here today

is because of God's

grace and mercy,

where he saved you

from a situation

that you shouldn't

have walked away from

because it was

part of God's plan.

The Bible tells us in

Matthew Chapter 29,

that not one sparrow

falls from the sky

without the will of God

and he goes on to tell us

that you are much more

valuable than many sparrows.

As tragic as it is to see

the death of Greg and Carol,

I wanna remind you

and comfort you

that this, too, is

part of God's plan.

- I don't understand.

Why can't you just

come live with us?

I don't want you

to leave, Faith.

- I'm gonna

miss you so much.

- I know, I'm gonna

miss you both.

I'll never have friends

like you ever again.

- Hey, that's not true.

You'll always have

friends like us

because we're always

gonna be here for you.

- And I mean, I know no

one can compare to us

but let's face it,

you're amazing.

You're gonna find amazing

people who wanna be with you.

- Come here, take my hand.

Dear Daddy Jesus,

thank you so much

for my best friend, Faith.

I love her so much and she

is such an amazing person

but right now, she's going

through a really hard time

and she's hurting a lot

and I know all I wanna do is

have her stay here with me

so I can give her a big hug

and make all of her

problems go away.

I know I can't do that.

So God, even though it's

really hard, today I let her go

so you can come and put

your arms around her

'cause I know only in your arms

can she truly

start to be healed.

And God, I also pray that

you would bring new friends

into Faith's life

that will love her

and lead her down

the right path.

We trust you, Jesus.

You're the only reason

we can look to the future

and have hope.

In your mighty, loving

name we pray, Amen.

- Pastor Mark, can I talk

with you for a minute?

- Yeah, absolutely, come on in.

- I don't know if Faith

can cope with all of this.

She just lost her parents,

has to move to a new city,

leave behind all her friends

and move in with family

she hardly knows.

- Jay, she's gonna be alright

and I know this is tough but

her name is Faith for a reason.

You know, it's easy to say

that God has a plan for our

life but it's times like this,

we really have to have

faith and know that he does.

The word reminds us that

God works all things

to the good of

those that love him

and are the called

according to his purposes.

God really does have a

plan for Faith's life

and as tough as this

may be, I promise you

that God's gonna use

this to mold her life

in ways that you and I

could never even imagine.

- I know, but my job

is to help these kids

any way that I can and I've

never experienced anything

like this before.

Greg and Carol

were good friends.

I feel like I'm failing them.

I feel like I'm failing Faith.

- No Jay, you're

not failing them

and you're certainly

not failing Faith.

Greg and Carol were

some of the best people

I've ever had the

privilege of knowing

and this doesn't

just affect you.

This has affected

our entire church

and it's really shaken

the entire community.

This loss at the

center of all of it

is this innocent young

girl who's lost her parents

and she's hurting, Jay, and

she just needs us right now.

She needs our prayers

more than anything.

She doesn't think for one

second that you're failing her.

Matter of fact, just

you being here right now

shows how much you really

do care about her, Jay.

She's gonna be alright.

God's gonna take care

of her, I promise.

- I hope you're

right, Pastor Mark.

- I know I am.

- What do I do?

How can I live without you?

Why would God take

you away from me?

I've always worshiped

him and praised him.

What did I do wrong?

Why would he do this to me?
