There's something more...

I have these firm beliefs that there is something so much more significant in life for all those who deserve it or who dedicate their time to what is meaningful.

I guess, that at times it's so easy for us to just...get foggy in knowing what is best, right, and believing there will be a brighter insight in what may be to come.

A friend of mine who I call, "Zelda" that I met at Moore, called me today.

She had updated me with her health status and how she was going to be further testing and help.
(My friend, has a lot of health problems and it's really sad. Though, it's not for me to state as to what those are.)

I felt....sad, but relieved in knowing she was seeking and furthering help for what she's facing.
She told me this as well, "I feel that despite I've withdrawn from Moore and am going through a rough time, just like you are in a sense, I feel God has led me to meet you for a reason and I am thankful. Thank you, Makaya."

This...touched my heart, sincerely. I'm not one to be very...emotional over sentimental things at times despite I am -a very sentimental, loving type of person deep down in my heart, I just..don't always know how to show that-
I very well...wanted to somewhat cry? I guess? I felt the feeling of my eyes swelling...
She continued on and then said this, "You gave me faith to know I could get better. I'm somewhat pessimistic because of my issues, but you make me feel worth something."
I silently cried.

Knowingly, that I've touched a life...I mean, I only knew her for maybe...4 weeks in school, then I left...
how is it that I've done good in a heart that I barely had known? How is it that God has chosen me to touch a life that wanted to not be of this world any longer?

I told her this, "Have faith. It'll get better and I'll pray for you. I don't know how I could have helped you before, or even in the end of it all, but what I do know..I am here for you in the hardship. I am here by your side. Remember that."

I told her to know, there is something more to what we have in life. There is something more to a life to be lived.
There is something more to her and who she is. She has a heart that is so much more than what she realizes. She's sweet, kind, and thoughtful. She IS a blessing to me, her family and friends, and to everyone who crosses their path.

I feel...her story has inspired me to just know there is something more to each person...deeper than what's upon the very surface.
I have known that, but to really..go digging...is what has gotten me thinking...why and how she is such an inspiration.

She is a girl who is something and worth more. Who is fighting a good fight. She is that light that has to be seen.
She has a brightness about her that has opened my eyes and I am so thankful.

Through hardships we see in other people, we see that through our own, together, we can fight a good fight, and see that there is always something more in what is, what is to come, and be gone...
There is ALWAYS something more with God.
God has given us both something more than what we bargained for, each other.
Each other to share a fight of hardship and to see that God is ultimate in the end of it all and that's what is something more in our hearts and lives today.

I am thankful that there is something more.
