i hate cancer.

Two days ago, one of my NZ friends who I had grown up with went home to be with God after suffering from brain cancer. She only found out about it recently (as in a few weeks ago) and it got really bad really fast. I am glad that she isn't in pain anymore, but she was SO young! The same age as me! I am realizing that God's plans really are FAR from my own. And apparently He has more surprises up His sleeve than I expected. Its really hard to look at class pictures of us as kids and realize that Anna is no longer on earth. You expect that sort of thing once you get to be older, but we are not even 20 yet. Gahh. Its so hard to accept and I am not really okay with it, but I know that eventually God will reveal the reason for taking Anna so young.

I'm sorry, Amy. It's so hard to lose people.
Death is so screwed up and unnatural- but God's plan isn't. Praying for you.

I'm so sorry! "untimely" deaths are so hard to reconcile. =/ Praying for you and her family
