Everything is made beautiful in His time

What do you feel when you lose someone? Do you remember? Do childhood memories somehow become sweeter? Clearer? Changed like adding. An effect to them like changing the effect on the photo you just took with instagram? Does grief filter your thoughts differently?

This week a friend's battle with cancer ended. We wrote together in high school on the school paper. She aspired to inspire.
Shanna, you are missed already. You achieved so much in 31 short years. I spent tonight reading through the lives you touched who have felt led to share on your Facebook page about the legacy you have left behind.

Prayer goes a long way. I regret not keeping up more and hope that the prayers I prayed had an eternal impact.

"He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also, he has put eternity into man's heart, yet so that he cannot find out what God has done from the beginning to the end." (Ecclesiastes 3:11 ESV)

Thank you. For life. For hope. For love's sake.
I am inspired by the way you fought, by the way you continued to just breathe and love life.
