Heavy Hearts

Oh, I have such a heavy heart right now...I can only say I am sad and how much I don't understand... those are the only words I form, literally.

I know Whitney is in Heaven and she is happy, healthy and at peace and with her Jesus and our Dad. My faith hasn't changed, I believe in Jesus, believe everything has a place and a fit, just like a puzzle. I just feel such a heaviness for this deep deep pain. Losing Whitney was a bigger blow then losing Dad. It was like someone ripped the band-aid off, so quick---and it still stings.

Whitney will be deeply deeply missed, missed by so many. Your encouraging words and constant prayers are very healing and if I didn't walk this road with Jesus, I would be lost and could be in a different place mentally right now. There may be some of you who are following this journey and aren't believers, I urge you to take this time to really reflect where you are headed when your life here on earth is done. I know where I am headed, where Whitney is and her life and death can be an opportunity for Jesus to change yours.

They replied, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved" Acts 16:31

"Don't let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God, and trust also in me. There is more than enough room in my Father's home. If this were not so, would I have told you that I am going to prepare a place for you? When everything is ready, I will come and get you, so that you will always be with me where I am. And you know the way to where I am going." John 14:1 - 4

 ^1-5For instance, we know that when these bodies of ours are taken down like tents and folded away, they will be replaced by resurrection bodies in heaven—God-made, not handmade—and we'll never have to relocate our "tents" again. Sometimes we can hardly wait to move—and so we cry out in frustration. Compared to what's coming, living conditions around here seem like a stopover in an unfurnished shack, and we're tired of it! We've been given a glimpse of the real thing, our true home, our resurrection bodies! The Spirit of God whets our appetite by giving us a taste of what's ahead. He puts a little of heaven in our hearts so that we'll never settle for less.
2 Corinthians 5: 1-5 (The Message)

I am going to let God's word echo in my heavy heart awhile. Our family is deeply grieving and are going to be taking it one day at a time. We will continue to give you word on memorial happenings and all those details as they form.

With heavy hearts,
