february fifteenth...

my heart is too full to really write tonight. today was thomas's funeral and it was hard. but it was also glorious. he was such a testimony and a witness for the Lord. He touched so many lives in just sixteen years, including mine. I am so blessed that God allowed our paths to cross even for such a brief time. During his funeral, this was said:

"When I grow up, I want to be like Thomas."

That is powerful. What a testament to a life and to a person. And I fully agree, except I don't want to be like Thomas when I grow up, I want to be like him now. Fully seizing each moment of every day with no regrets and giving glory to the Lord. I know He's with Jesus right now having the best time of his life and I couldn't be happier for him. What a sweet boy and servant, I can't imagine the rejoicing going on in Heaven right now.
