Unsure of the reason?!

God tells us that their are reasons behind what He does, but we don't always see them. Well, let me tell you...right now is one of those times! I know that people have to die...its just the course that life takes. I find myself thinking that these people are all supposed to be old. God tells us that we can die at anytime. That we need to be ready for Him at all times. Even though I've known that God says this..I still find myself thinking that I and those I love won't die until we're old. I have been a Christian since I was 14 years old. Steve was the first person to actually show me God(he was my youth pastor) I've known him for 10 years and hes always been one of the strongest people that I've known. I went from being his youth kid, to now, being his friend. He is the minister of the church that I attend, a pro-wrestler, and an all around amazing guy. I love his family like my own. He was diagnosed with cancer last summer. This has been a crazy year. He has went from a stage 3 to stage 4 in a matter of months. In the past month alone he has gotten much worse. Yesterday he went to the hospital and today hes going home with Hospice! I also think I forgot to mention that he is only 32 years old! This has been a rough day..and if its been a rough day for me I can't imagine whats it been like for him and his family! In a little bit, I'm going to visit him...I am already anticipating tears. One thing I do know is that Steve lead an amazing life and will continue to be an inspiration to all the people around him(which is a lot)

It's crazy. I still can't sort it all out. It's like a bad dream that we're all going to wake up from, right? Soon, we're going to wake up.

I'm with flip flop mamma on this one. When do we wake up? It doesn't seem real. I know I haven't known Steve nearly as long as you two, but it still hurts. Impact is the only church the BetterHalf and I have felt accepted at in a long time. Steve has been so welcoming and real.... (sigh)

I updates some thoughts I had about this from last month at God, Please Heal Steve. I'd love to hear anyone's thoughts, prayers, or even venting sessions. Better yet, you can call me and the BetterHalf and come over if you need to vent -- or cry. This offer is extended to all Impact folks....

It's just so sad, and so surreal.
