Tears streaming down my face.
Due to a facebook status of someone I went to Bible college with years ago- a simple statement about a 26 year old young woman who passed into eternity today. It linked me to her facebook where there were literally hundreds of comments from people all over the world who were/are so impacted and touched by this young Missionary woman.
My heart is heavy.
I found her blog through her facebook as well as many other links and stories about this girl's life- a woman who has traveled to 20 different countries and committed her life fully and completely to reaching the lost and hurting, teaching foreign children, loving the unloved and uncared for and literally giving up her life to gain SO much more in return.

She died from a blood clot in her brain this morning.
I didn't know her. I've never heard of her but I know people who do.
I just read her blog and also read a tribute to her here.

Needless to say, I'm deeply moved.
