It's been a little while since I've said hello to this little space. My thoughts have kind of been jumping to and fro, but never really wanting to settle on the page- or should I say, keyboard.
My heart has been a little heavy since hearing some news on Tuesday. News that a man not much older than I, passed away suddenly on Tuesday. I didn't know him personally, but I have friends who did, and I knew a little about him. Wow. If there's ever been anyone that I'm 100% is in Heaven right now? It's him. His Facebook page is completely flooded with incredible messages on how he touched the lives of others. Completely flooded. And honestly, I can't speak for those closer to him, but that has to ease the sting a little bit. This man lived such a good life, and even though there will be pain of missing him, he was who we all ought to be like.
It's really made me think about what I would leave behind if I didn't make it to tomorrow. Would there be a hint of joy in the hearts of those around me? Would there be wonder as to who I really was? I hope to continue my journey to whoever the Lord wants me to become.
For those of you who are faithful prayer warriors- pray for those touched by this situation. This man was a leader for a campus ministry at the college I went to. I know there are many college students who are hurting, rejoicing, questioning, and looking to God. I'm thankful for the influence of a life of someone who never knew me.
My thoughts are not complete. My answers are not firm, but God is God and I am not. And I know that God is faithful.
