Tragically.. Christina Grimmie died on June 10, 2016 because of a crazy guy..

Christina Grimmie did not know the man who killed her.. He was a stranger who was obsessed and

deluded. Kind of like the man who killed John Lennon.

janlfcfan said something on youtube that was exactly my situation except that I only found out about Christina after her accident..

People keep asking me why this is affecting me so much...Its not like I knew her personally...Then tell me why I hurt so bad...Tell me why I have spent the last week feeling so hollowed out and just so broken...I'm a continent away and I hurt. I've cried, I've stormed and I have raged over the unfairness of it all. I DID know her personally, all of Team Grimmie did. We connected with this beautiful soul...this girl who sang to her lava lamp and called us her Frands, this girl who randomly reached out to tell us from time to time that we're beautiful and that Jesus loves us, this girl who went out of her way to help animals everywhere, this girl who greeted everyone with a smile on her face and open arms. I won't give up and I will never forget.

She had her whole life ahead of her and it was cut short tragically.. However, I know that

Christina is in heaven now, watching over everyone and that she is in peace..

When I heard about Christina's accident, I viewed hours of Christina's videos on youtube.

Through the videos, I found out that Christina Grimmie was a full 100% Christian. Anyway,

I saw many of Christina's videos on youtube and I think Christina was a rational normal

girl. Something changed inside me when I came across the following video..


"I bet you don't Curse God" - Christina Grimmie - With Love
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=PxLlsYv0Fls



Before I came across the video above, I was just someone who was curious about a famous person who

died. After watching the video above, something changed inside me and I really began to care

about Christina.. I realized that even now, even though she was killed senselessly, she would

still tell us not to doubt or curse god.. We all care about a lot of things.. She definately cared about

her faith, her faith in God.. I had said that Christina cared so much about her faith in God

that she had been martyred.. to that CPyogi2389 said..

She wasn't Martyred for her faith in Christ.

But yes, she would tell all of us to never give up faith. She actually tweeted "Sometimes God allows bad things to happen in your life and you don't know why. But that doesn't mean you should stop trusting him." on February 21, 2013. She often tweeted about her faith in Christ but never in a pushy sort of way and most of the time, they were just reminders for herself as much as they were for her fans.

As a matter of fact, I was talking to a friend of mine who is also a Team Grimmie family member, and he was saying that he has no doubts that on the day of her judgement, when standing before her Lord, she would be the first one not to ask for forgiveness of her own sins but his for what he did to her. That to me is mind-blowing, but it's true. Anyone who knew Christina, knows she's one of the most selfless and humble people. After all, she got the tattoo "All Is Vanity" from Ecclesiastes to remind herself everyday that everything she had, every breath she took, every song she sang, was a gift from God and that she never wanted to forget who she was or who she lived for. Her faith in Christ was her whole life, but it wasn't something she really witnessed on or tried pushing in anyone's face which is why I don't think she was murdered for her faith but more because he was obsessed with her and angry she had a boyfriend that wasn't him.

Her faith in God was beautiful moreover, it was her whole life. I long to have the kind of love, passion, and relationship with Christ that she had. Again, not gonna get into religious debate here, you believe or you don't believe and either choice is okay, it's your choice. But her life was beautiful because of her close relationship to God. She was humble, down to earth, she had the heart of gold. She never let her "fame" get to her head. Every good thing that came her way she gave up to God. She never didn't thank him for the many blessings he gave her. And yes, they were gifts and her voice was that of an angel, she worked her little butt off. So she put in the time and the work to get where she got. But she knew that her voice was a gift from God. Actually she once said, "My voice is not a gift from God, it is God." And that just shows how deep her faith and love for her Lord went. It's beautiful and I long to have that kind of heart and passion for Jesus. :)

I realized that Christina's faith in God, was truly..

really beautiful..

I was raised Christian, but then I began to believe in evolution.. And turned away from

believing in God.. Even though at first I did not believe much in God, I couldn't but be

impressed by the beauty of Christina's faith.. Of course you might say..

"Jesus Christ" certainly didn't protect her from the psycho. Blind faith is a fallacy of brainwashed youths like her.

Of course, because God gave us free will, God gives us all choices as we live our lives.

Christina, as we all know, chose to follow Jesus and be redeemed through him.. The killer who

was known to be an atheist, chose to follow his basic emotions of jealousy..

God would have put in his invisible hand to stop anyone from harming her.. I believe what

happened to Christina was part of God's plan.. I believe with all my heart that Christina

Grimmie is with Jesus now and understands why he allowed her life on earth to end so soon.

It looks senseless to us, but that's because we, as mere mortals can not see the whole plan..

Christina never did anything dangerous or unreasonable and expect God to protect her.. She was

just a normal girl who liked to have fun playing video games.. The fact that she died so

suddenly and unexpectedly gives pause to the fact that we all live in an unpredictable world..

It's just the nature of the world we live in I guess.. For example, none of us

can be sure with 100.0% certainty that we'd be alive a

year from now.. A year from now, some of us will have passed away to meet our "maker" so to

speak.. Can you guarantee with 100% certainty that your soul would not be brought before God to

be judged? In other words, can you be sure that God doesn't exist? If you don't believe in the

existence of God, I guess you believe in evolution.. We all evolved through millions and

billions of years of Evolution I suppose.. I used to believe that too.. I was shocked by

Christina's sudden death.. I ended up watching hours of Christina's videos and Christina's

music.. Through the videos, I found out that although Christina Grimmie was a full 100%

Christian, she looked at the world much like me. For example she really liked computer games,

etc..

I couldn't but look at the world through the eyes of somebody who had a Christian world view..

I don't want to go into a religious debate as to whether creationism or

darwinism is right.. But considering how large the universe is, how many

planets there really are out there, I think the only plausible explanation as

to why we can only find life on earth is because God created it here.. I just

began to have a feeling that darwinism is not only too fantastic to be true,

but is just false..

At first I used to feel pity for Christina but now.. I envy her.. I'm sure she's in heaven now

meeting Jesus who she had wanted to meet in person so much. The last thing she would have

remembered would have been spreading out her arms to hug one of her fans at the plaza live.

The next moment she would have found herself in heaven. Of course she would have felt upset

at first because her life ended so abruptly.. But then another angel would tell her that

Jesus would come to meet her in person soon and she would have been so outrageously happy..

Christina was after all, his biggest fan! She lived her life like Jesus, truly like Jesus and I

couldn't but take notice. She took modern day religion and brought it back to the true meaning

of Christianity. She wrote a blog on her website that has since been taken down, but there are

copies on the Internet of what it truly means to be a Christian..

In the blog above, she illustrates exactly what the gospels tell us to do. She didn't just

believe it she lived it and she made me notice. Just her overall actions and demeanor was so

different than that of celebrities today. They say she was never too busy for her fans. She

didn't let fame get to her head and she knew that her fans were the only reason she chose her

career.

When I saw how sad some people were about her death, I used to sort of feel better off that I

did not know about her before she passed away but I'm beginning to envy people who knew her

while she was alive.. Especially those people who got to meet her in person.. Even though I am

sad that fate only gave her 22 years to live, she did so much during those 22 years! She was in

a movie..

I believe that Christina is now really happy with our Lord Jesus Christ in heaven..

I did not know who Christina Grimmie was before she died.. And I was an atheist, but somehow,

finding out about Christina has resulted in me completely rethinking my life.

Christina Grimmie once said "I'm not perfect, but I believe my faith in Jesus Christ will really

take me far in the world!" Her being such a devout Christian makes her look absolutely perfect

in my eyes.. I thank God for Christina because our world is

so extremely harsh and cruel and Christina's positiveness definitely

made our lives much more bearable..

Christina had the quote "All Is Vanity" from the book of Ecclesiastes tattooed on her arm.

In saying "All Is Vanity", the author is recognizing from all his life experience that

everything on earth is passing away. Riches, material goods, even us as people. He realizes

that hope, purpose, and the fullness of life on earth can only be found in hoping and

looking to the eternal. That God's plan is much bigger than our own, and that our aim is

not a good life on earth, but running the race well here until we get to eternity.

I'm sure heaven exists and Christina Grimmie is now in heaven..

I was an atheist who did not even know who Christina Grimmie was before 2016.06.11..

Just finding out about her has helped me by preventing me from losing my sanity during a

difficult period in my life. I ended up completely rethinking my entire life and found God.. I

would not have found out about Christina if something so shocking and tragic had not happened..

I hope to follow Christina Grimmie and become a follower of Jesus Christ.. Considering what kind

of a hard-core die-hard atheist I was, it was very rare and unlikely that I would change this

way.. I thank Christina Grimmie and Jesus Christ for showing me the way to see the truth and the

light..
