We are all going to have down days, that's inevitable.
What's great about this, is that a new day is approaching, and is filled with radiant sunlight.
It's thundering WHILE the sun is shining so bright. I can't help but sit here amazed at how even when its thundering....or supposed to seem "dark" ....the "Sun/Son" is still shining....
This is not to say I'm having a "down" day whatsoever, but I have my moments where I reflect on sad moments. Today, I explored through a memorial website about my friend I grew up knowing, Joshua James Stewart. His sister created a memorial webpage for him. My heart is still broken for the family after Josh passed. Many may think that he was "defeated" by his sickness, but let me tell you....He came out on top & victorious because he knew God.
As I'm exploring his website, I'm reminded how much of an impact he had on me when I was little. Of course, like most girls at that age, I had the biggest crush on this long blonde haired, tan, surfer/skater boy. He had a million dollar smile, enjoyed the spontaneity in life, and truly lived it up. This boy struggled through many things, but he kept fighting. He loved God even through those struggles. In my heart, he won the battle. He's in Paradise right now.
When he passed away, my heart not only broke for the friends, but for his sister Jessie (who I could only pray to be like), his parents, and his other family members I grew up with, and loved so dearly. I found myself crying hysterically every night, lacking sleep, losing focus because my heart was discerned and focused on this tragedy.
Just wanted to share the website: Josh Stewart's Memorial
I just wanted to emphasize the fact that, I still feel broken for that family yes, but I know prayerfully that God is taking care of them. He felt that broken-heartedness when he bore all of our emotions on the cross.
To the family: I love you guys dearly, and continue to pray for your hearts to be at peace and comforted.
