just between us...

today i had a new, surreal experience. a student at garaway hs died in a car accident yesterday, so i went to the school today to talk and pray with students. it was really good to be there for students, hear what they were thinking, and just give a few hugs. it was good. but, it was really weird.

when a kid dies there aren't always answers.
when someone passes away everyone processes it differently.
when you lose someone close your emotions run wild.

it's good to grieve, but it feels weird when you need to get back to normal life. i encouraged the students today not to go back to normal life, but pick one thing they want to change about themselves.

what about you? in light of death and the reality of life what is something you need to change?

i never want to miss opportunities to show people how much i care about and love them. yet, the busyness of life and petty things get in the way of doing my goal. today, be intentional about showing people around you that you care.
