Life and Death.

I've never really seen or experienced a death in the family. My grandpa died when I was like 7 but I wasn't super close with him and didn't fully understand. But tonight one of my best friends, Alex Lynn, lost her dad to a heart attack. I've never had to hold a friend like that and know that for once there was nothing I could do or say to take her sadness away. I could get her food, tell her its going to be okay, give her bible verses..but nothing could take away her pain.
It made me think about the shortness of this life on earth, and how joyful I am that I get to live forever with Jesus, so does Alex. I'm SO thankful that the majority of my friends will be my "friends forever"..and i mean forever in Heaven. So cool.

" After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever."  - 1 Thessalonians 4:17

This is my crazy friend Alex, one of the strongest girls I know! :) The friend who will stay up late and each cookie frosting with me! <3
