Warning: rambly blog post ahead.
A few months ago, I started following the story of a teenage girl named Carissa Fluke. She missed the last few days of school when she was a freshman, and they then found a rare form of leukemia which has evidently been very hard to treat. She went through intense treatments at locations around the country. Carissa is a Christian, and someone who loves God more than life itself and used this as an opportunity to show the world how much Jesus means to her. Throughout the whole ordeal, Carissa never lost her faith and continued to point people to Jesus. I would get updates on an email list, and I would find myself inspired by her every few days when the emails would arrive.
Yesterday, Carissa lost her short battle with the leukemia (I'm sure it felt like an eternity to her and her family). Yet, this young lady is now the most incredible place in the world -- with Jesus Christ whom she loves so much. I hope all of you reading this know Jesus and have a relationship with Him. If you don't please send me a message anytime, and I would be glad to talk to you about it.
And Carissa, I wish I could see what you're seeing right now, girl. We love you!
