One of our friends passed away on Friday after a five-year battle with cancer. He was 24.
He was Spencer Lee Green.
I won't be able to attend the funeral, and it breaks my heart. He wasn't a close friend of mine, though we did enjoy surviving English lit classes together. His family is a "legacy family" at my college and in the Nazarene denomination, meaning that grandparents, aunts, and uncles are Nazarene pastors across the country. Because his first cousin is my roommate and bff, I have gotten to meet many of this family, the Greens, and I am beside myself for them.
JT will be going to the funeral 8 hours away, by himself, and that also breaks my heart. I wish I could be there to support him, but sometimes responsibilities make life tough like that.
I have been a mess. I have felt myself crushed and torn in a million different directions.
The Lord has been softening my heart and showing me who I am as a woman. So basically, I have a lot on my mind.
Right now, it's too long and incoherent, but once I see JT off and have some time to unwind, you will be hearing from me!
"Don’t ask what the world needs, ask yourself what makes you come alive and go do that, because what the world needs is people who have come alive." --Spencer Green
