My cousin Carlie just died. 5:30 pm Monday May 23rd. I have so many thoughts and words running through my head, and I have no idea how to make sense of them. But there's three verses that I found that I wanted to share. The first, Romans 8:28 "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose." Let me tell you that if I know one thing about Carlie, it's that she loves God. Second, Phillippians 1:21 "for to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain." It seems to me that Carlie is the one who is gaining. She gets to hang out with God for the rest of eternity, because third, Luke 20:38 "He is not the God of the dead, but of the living, for to him all are alive." Carlie may be dead in the body, but boy is she alive!
