This past weekend was spent up in Estes Park on a youth retreat with my church. It was a great time meeting the RISEN CHRIST. I even played broom ball on the ice while it was snowing with some junior high kids, never to old for fun.
The hard part was that it made me recall my time working with the youth back at Christ Church in Nashville. This made me think about Eric and Emmy.
On Saturday as I was playing broom ball and missing my friend, Eric, very much, it hit me that a year ago that day was when He and Emmy got to go home and be with the LORD.
All week I have not stopped thinking about this amazing guy and all my wonderful moments spend with him. I longed to call him on the phone this week, to hear what GOD was doing in his life. Just like many times in the past, but I can't.
So today I finally decided that I needed to sit down and write, to let you all out there know that I am missing one of my most amazing friends.
Eric, you were an awesome man of GOD and I know that you are wrapped in HIS Loving arms as I write this, looking down on us here. PRAISE JESUS, for the Light you shined and left here. I miss you and love you dearly.
This started as my online journal of the journey GOD was taking me on to teach in Seoul, South Korea and now continues with where HE is leading me after there. My goal in life is to have my life reflect Christ, sometimes without ever even having to say a word. After all, the best gift we have to share is who HE has created us to be.
"Lord... give me the gift of faith to be renewed and shared with others each day. Teach me to live this moment only, looking neither to the past with regret, nor the future with apprehension. Let love be my aim and my life a prayer." ~Roseann Alexander-Isham
