Gaining Fresh Perspective...

Although this week has been filled with sadness and grief, it has been also been filled with happiness and love. Getting to be around family and dear friends has truly been refreshing. It has also been refreshing just reflecting upon how futile and short life it and realizing that living this temporary life is not all that we are hear for. We are here to glorify our God in all that we do and live in such a way to lead others to Him. Lynn's funeral service yesterday was such a testimony to her life and how God worked through her to touch SO many people. With a supreme intervention of God's strength I was able to speak at the funeral and give a tribute to my mom and Lynn's friendship. Tripp, Lynn's son, also spoke and did an amazing job of talking about his mom and the work of God in his life. He and his wife, a former Muslim, have come to know God personally over the past year and a half after a trip to Israel where God spoke to them and revealed Himself to them in a mighty way. Their story is truly one of the most amazing things I have heard. Their passion for Christ is unquenchable and so encouraging. Please continue to pray for my mom, Tripp and Janan as they continue to deal with the grief and sadness of death.
