I was sitting in at work today and got a phone call from my old boss at Lindon. In the course of the phone call he informed me that one of my old coworkers died today. She died in a plane crash. She was an instructor on a flight and it was just her and her student on the flight when the engines failed. I wasn't especially close with this woman, but I had a relationship with her. She was always there to talk and ask questions. She was genuinely interested in what was going on in my life, and always seemed genuinely happy to see me. She leaves behind 2 young children and a husband. When I heard this, it hit me hard. I had been following the story of the plane crash online all day, so to hear that it was someone I knew, it was surreal. It still is. I almost cannot believe it's true.
I had the opportunity to text one of my old coworkers about this today and we talked through a few things. It brought a few things back to my mind rather glaringly. I am so grateful tonight for the knowledge of the Plan of Salvation. While I don't understand why she was taken at this point in life, I know that there is a greater work going on. I know that her family will be able to be with her again someday. I know that the Lord has a plan.
When I think about how people who don't have a knowledge of the truth process an event of this, I don't know how they make sense. I can understand how this would lead people into more confusion. Having a knowledge and understanding that the Lord truly is in charge is an amazing asset in this life. I am so grateful tonight for my knowledge of the Plan.
