217 days.
That's how long my cousin has been in Heaven.
WOW...really kind of crazy how fast the time has passed here. We get so caught up in stuff here, so much that isn't even significant. I wonder what it's like there. The things that we don't know in Scripture. To the LORD one day is like a thousand years,a and a thousand years like a day...is that how it is in Heaven? I don't think there is any concept of time like there is on earth...but I wonder what it must be like for my cousin to not be feeling ANY PAIN! Completely healed. I bet she forgot what it felt like to not be suffering. I bet she runs. Everyday. Runs even better and faster then she did when she broke all those records. I can't help but really long for that day when I'll see her again. See Ryan again. See Mrs. Ellise. my Pap. Tony. Nicole's mom. Crawford. Luke. I just can't wait for the glorious celebration of eternity. To have the FIRST day of forever. How crazy is that? On March 13th my cousin started eternity. forever. EVERLASTING life. It doesn't even make sense because our minds can't fathom it. I miss her alot and October is a somewhat difficult month because she would have been celebrating her birthday on the 27th. All this also makes me think of what I have done in 217 days. That's 5,208 HOURS. 312,480 SECONDS. Life is short. Life is so so so short. We are never promised tomorrow. If only I could think that way always. If only our generation realized the significance of our days. I can't wait to get to Heaven and celebrate with my cousin and my friends and family I have lost along the way so far....and with HIM forever. With the KING OF GLORY. LORD OF LORDS. THE SAVIOR. REDEERMER. Hallelujah, praise be to Him.

Hey Hannah Girl!
Thanks for your comment on my blog and letting me into your life a little. I enjoyed reading your posts tonight and am challenged and encouraged by your perspective. What a sweet reminder of our need to be heavenly minded! It's hard to be consistently heavenly minded when we have so many distractions. I'm reading Randy Alcorn's new novel (Deception) right now and love how he always brings things around to being heavenly minded in and through his characters. He's one of my very faves! If you like to read novels and haven't read this one. I highly recommend it. Although, I understand pleasure reading is probably the last thing you have time for. It's a good one though!
I'm gonna be praying for you as you go throughout these next few months. Keep me posted cause I'd love to know what's happening with you.
Love,
Jan (no more Mrs. needed...makes me feel old anyway)
My Hannie!
How grateful I am to have a peak into who you are today. I guess we didn't get much time to talk about such things while we were touring Disney last summer, did we? lol
Thank you for sharing all that God has done in your heart! What an incredible blessing you are! (Although I've always known that!)
Mom said she's coming down to Florida just so she and I can have more than 10 minutes at a time together...you game? =D
Thanks so much for taking time with Bri on Sunday, she was really struggling. This was our quickest trip ever and she didn't realize until church that she wasn't going to get time with so many friends. I think with all the changes going on, and possibly to come, that she was wanting a little familiarity. I know even those few minutes with you were priceless to her!
I pray and trust that God is using you mightily for His glory at Lee. I want to hear all about it!!! Tell Aaron I said "Sup Dog!" =D
I love you bunches and bunches!
