All weekend I was thinking about my blog that I was going to post about my goal to lose weight.. but that one will have to wait for now. Something else is heavy on my heart right now.
I had a friend, he wasn't a best friend or anything, but he was a friend nonetheless. He was a couple years ahead of me in school and he was the manager at one of the businesses in town that did their banking at my bank so I got to see him pretty much every day these past few months. We always messed with each other, talked about our cars, or if we just had a not so great day we'd sorta vent to each other when he came to do his deposits.
Well this morning when I checked facebook I kept seeing all these statuses like "Praying for the Littlejohn family." or "Heaven gained a beautiful angel this morning." and I wasn't quite sure who they were about because he has a younger brother and his father is still alive. But then I soon started seeing different people put up pictures they had of him all over facebook. And I didn't want to think what I knew was the horrible truth. After it had been confirmed, that he went home to be with the Lord, one of his employees came in to do some deposits and she told us the details.
Chris was a great guy. He was always so happy and sweet, one of the nicest guys you'd ever meet. It didn't matter what kind of day he was having he was always so chipper and happy.
Now, as I sit at my desk and look at where he worked and think about everything, more and more questions come to my mind.
Now I know we're not supposed to question God and his plan, but some times it's so hard not too. I definitely have some questions for when I meet him though.
Why do the good die young? Why do we have to say goodbye so early some times? It seems like the ones that deserve the most fulfilling life, are the ones that are taken way too early. There have been so many kids my age that have lost their lives lately and I just want to ask Him why? I know we're supposed to trust his plan and let him take the lead, and I try my hardest to.. but when a young person, or even a child that's life is just beginning has their life taken away for any reason I want to know why.
I know this blog was a little bit of rambling and not really put together very well.. but I just needed to say what was on my mind and heart.
If anybody can help me this, it's always been a trouble on my mind and heart, any advice on how to deal with this would be greatly appreciated.
