I love the way he sings this song AND I love the message because I totally believe it's true. I see it in the awesome people I work with, my neighbors, my kids teachers, our friends & family, and even drivers on my commute to work.
I saw it in my first college roommate. I was assigned a dorm room and when I got there the girl in the room had designated the entire closet, desk, shelf, window, doorway, and "air" in the room to be hers! My mom saw the fear on my face and she mentioned a friendly brunette girl named Laurie I'd waved to in the court yard, a friend of my cousins', and said maybe I could switch and room with her? We made tracks and I mean FAST to Laurie's room. Her roommate hadn't showed up yet so Laurie, mom, and I took off for the RA's office to ask for a switch. The RA said yes we could make the change (I've wondered if mom slipped her a few bucks haha) and quick as a rabbit we had my stuff out of that first dorm room and in with Laurie. I always felt a little bad for the poor girl that ended up in that first dorm room with the "air" girl.
Laurie must have had three hearts cause she was totally full of love. She ended up marrying one of my cousins (she always thought he was so cute) and lately has been writing me about our oldest twig, Zac, on his mission. She's been so supportive and helpful, totally glorious!
My brother and sister-in-law called Monday night to let me know Laurie had passed away suddenly Saturday night. I can't stop the flood of tears...for her...for her family...for her missionary who just left on his mission less than two months ago.
If you get the chance will you please include Laurie's family in your prayers?
Thank you for being glorious. xoxo
Oh Patti! I will pray for you as well. My "roomies" are still some of my most treasured friends and I can't even begin to imagine the pain of losing one. I love you!
