"You cannot imagine all the places you'll find Jesus, but you'll find Him everywhere you thought He wasnt supposed to go" This part just rips me to pieces with near bittersweet gratitude because it is so true. A little over two years ago, my best friend passed away (possibly after taking her own life). I knew her for close to eleven years and I was so shocked and devastated when I learned of her death. She passed away after overdosing on things in her medicine cabinet for sleep and I learned from her passing that she had an eating disorder, (bulimia). I went to my local youth group a week or two after hearing the news and broke down to the girls there when we were sharing what we would like to be prayed for, and I shared her passing. And her eating disorder and how it broke my heart to learn of her suffering. After I collected myself enough to function and the circle broke apart, a girl I'd never spoken to approached me and told me she had an eating disorder and that what I said about my friend made her want to get help and reach out. And in that moment, I broke down again and realized that God can make beauty out of anything, be it a garden or a forest of ashes. A life was loved and lost and that love was passed along and I witnessed a miracle I didnt fathom how desperately I needed to see. So, that's my story and ty for anyone who read it; if you're hurting, please keep fighting and I hope this might help anyone who needs to hear this 💙 look for God in all places; He's always there and always will remain.
