Sometimes I feel like there are no words fitting what I feel or want to say. And yet I talk and talk all the time... that's how this weekend has been. Full of long phone conversations.
I was able to talk to Arthur's mom yesterday =) which was great. I really miss her and the rest of his family. I talked to Ian today - we hadn't talked in forever! It was great to catch up with him. I've really just been feeling this need to keep up with the ones that I love... cause you never know what can happen.
Most of this weekend was spent talking to my sweetie Arthur, Shanna (she's amazing and made so much time for me the other day!), Heather, and especially my parents. We got some bad news Friday, and I would love it if you all could be praying for this family I'm gonna share about. My cousin's brother-in-law passed away suddenly... he was just 21 I believe. It's really quite tragic, and everyone is just so heartbroken about it - he was a great guy. Please pray for his family - I can't imagine their saddness.
Everytime I hear about something so sad like this there are just so many thoughts bouncing around in my head. I remember (not like I ever forget them, but remember especially) the loved ones in my life who have passed away. It reminds me of all the loved ones I still have, and to let them know that I love them. It's so easy to get busy and forget to tell people you love them... I don't want to do that. Hearing about something like this is just like a shock back into reality. It gets you thinking.
Alright well... off to homework! I love you all. Till next time...

You're right, Anna, about letting our loved ones KNOW that we love them. This weekend was a shocking reminder of that. And of how short life is, and how much we need the Lord. I don't want to waste any more time of the remaining years of my life...
ReplyDelete"If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God. Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth. For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ who is our life appears, then you also will appear with Him in glory...
"And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ."
Colossians 3:1-4;23-24
I LOVE YOU!
