So a lot has happened since summer started. Good things, bad things, just regular type things. One of the biggest obviously being the death of Ally. It’s been like a week or so but I haven’t really expressed all the things that I thought were awesome about everything. yes, I said awesome!
At the memorial service everyone could stand up and say anything about Ally. Everyone was talking about how Ally was such a happy person and they were telling all these amazing memories they had with her. One girl in the balcony stood up and turned me into the biggest blubbering baby you will ever see. She told everyone that because of what she saw in Ally’s life, and her love for God, she now wants a closer relationship with Christ. I couldn’t help but cry, it was amazing, how God could take something so seemingly terrible like the death of a 17 year old girl and transform it into all these lives being touched and changed for something greater.
Another awesome part of it is how many opportunities have opened up to talk about things that people don’t generally like to talk about. Satan. And how he is here to steal, kill, and destroy. And while most people think those things don’t actually happen, they do. But the most amazing part is that while Satan thought he could kill her just by killing this earthly body, he could never kill her spiritual body! He has made that mistake so many times, just look at the death of Jesus. The demons were having a ball when Jesus died on the cross, but they didn’t count on Him being even more awesome than before!
So there is my second post in this thing…maybe someone will end up reading it!
