I could not possibly be happier in my life than I am right now. The trials of this past week have forced me to become closer to my Lord and Savior, which, of course, is a good thing.
After losing a close friend, I have realized God has a larger purpose for everyone than we can imagine. Though my selfishness wants him to be back here on Earth, I know his is happy at home with God. How cool is that?
After dealing with that stress and the stress of studying for four tests, I relied on my bible for support. I always made time to read it every morning, because it was the only thing that was certain. The only thing that was true and predictable. The only thing that I can find peace with, even in the hard times.
Now that an entire seven days since Cliffton passed, I realize how long my week has been. How everyday I remembered little things that reminded me of Cliffton. Even just thinking about things with SIFE, I know I wouldn't be as involved as I am without him.
As I reflect during this entry, I am also so thankful for those in my life who never give up on me. At times when I am too busy to even eat (if you know me, that is insanely busy) those friends are patient and understand. What would I do without you? If you are reading this, chances are, you are one of them. :)
Even on rainy days like this when the bottom three inches of my pants are soaked from my grocery trip to Hy-Vee, I am thankful for the rain. Without days like this, I would never find the time to bake brownies and sit with my other half appreciating the little things in life. Life. Is. Great.
