Saying goodbye is never easy

Today we went to a funeral of a dear sister. As I sat there listening to the Pastor speak of this dear woman of God and all the wonderful ministry she served in her life, I could not help but think of what would be said about me?

Victoria left a legacy behind. She was known for her love for Jesus, her love for the inner city forgotten children. Her and her husband would brave parts of the city that no " normal" evangelist would go. She always had such a connection with the Lord that she knew when it was safe or unsafe. I was in awe as I sat there learning more about this gracious,loving warrior for the King.

She passed into Glory with these last words on her lips " I shall live and not die". She knew that though she may be leaving her earthly vessel she was not passing on to an eternal death but onto an eternal life with Jesus.

At this moment she is walking the streets of gold with our Savior. Oh what a sweet thought that is.

What about you? Do you know where you will be after you take your last breath? Will Our Savior come to you and say well done, good and faithful servant?

As long as you have breath in your lungs it is not too late.Jesus is waiting with open arms.

My heart is to walk the streets of heaven with all of my loved ones!

Will you be there?

  1. I've found it quite sad to be so far away from a good friend who has passed, and I know that God's timing doesn't wait on anyone. She was a warrior like I've never seen. Thanks for this post, I'm glad you were able to be there.

    love,

Assignment - This week I would like you to post any prayer requests you have. What is going on in your life that you need prayer warriors for? When this assignment came through I was going to share  prayer request for a much needed rental home, and new job for my beloved, but in a blink of an eye those things were no longer a concern. A truly serious, and sobering matter occurred. I was not sure how to share with all of you this matter- and how desperate I was. I was not sure how to even lift my eyes towards heaven for fear that he would not hear me, or not even want what I was wanting.  I was not sure I could handle a loss of my child. My baby- my eldest- He is 18 years old, 6 days ago he started to develop these sharp pains that would shoot to the back of his eyes. At first he described them as a headache, but he realized it was not headache, and started to complain more of the pain, and stated that pain relievers were not working. I made a doctors appointment. When the do...

Traditions…

At this time of the year everyone is filled with traditions. Things they do every year  to prepare their hearts to celebrate the greatest, and truest meaning of this season- celebrating the Birth of our Savior. We are no exception.. we started this tradition last year. Our hearts were to focus ourselves completely on what we are celebrating and why we are celebrating it so every evening, we light these candles…   gather around the table to read the scripture for the night, we sing the corresponding carol/hymn, then daddy reads a story. The story normally goes with which every figure we must pull and set up for our nativity scene. So far this is what we have out: The Donkey was first- because he carried Mary to Bethlehem, then the cow- was probably in the stable, the sheep were probably brought by the Shepherds who came to see the Savior, and then the Shepherd. This scene is such a humbling scene, one that reminds us that our Lord did not arrive in a mansion, or place b...
