My grandpa

In two days it will be 8 months since my grandfather passed away. I can remember it like yesterday. I was driving on the loop when I got the call that he had been rushed to the hospital and had reached campus when I found out that he had died. It was not a good day.

My grandpa was AMAZING! I loved him so much and he has taught me a lot over the years. He is the one that taught me that being a Christian is more than being a certain faith. He taught me that you don't have to know Greek to know what the Bible is saying and most of all he showed me how to love for all people. I wish that I had gotten to know him a little bit better and there are still so many questions that I have that I wished I could have asked. He was the one I always went to when I had questions out of the Bible. He seemed to know all of the answers or would look them up and get back to me.

I miss him so much and tonight as I set at Summit (ACU's big conference thing) I remembered him. We sang It is well with my soul which we sang at his funeral and it will always remind me of him. I cried but it was more tears of joy knowing that he is in heaven and one day I will get to see him again. I can say that since his death I have had to focus more on God because I didn't understand. I thought I wasn't ready but I can now see that it will all be ok. I have the memories to live with and to cherish. Don't get me wrong I have my days but today is a good day and he will always be a part of me. As Summit started tonight I got this since that he was there and that he loved me and then as things progressed we sang that song and it was a bittersweet moment. I feel like it was Gods way of saying I see you and I know what you have been through and I am here with you. It was kind of amazing!
