Chrissie's Dancing With Jesus

i am broken hearted for the patterson family. chrissie went to be with Jesus early this morning. as her mom lorraine said, she is "dancing with Jesus now." she fought such a brave fight. her family fought for her. thousands prayed for her and have been affected by the faith of her family, as told through her mom's blog...."All Are Precious In His Sight".... pray for them during this time.

i can't imagine how anyone faces the death of their precious child without the comfort of Christ, and knowing Him as their personal Savior. do you know Him? He came to earth to die for our sins....and we're all sinners. praise God He paid the price for mine and your sins! "For it is by grace you have been saved through faith-and this not of yourselves, it is the gift of God" (Ephesians 2:8)....."For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life...." (John 3:16). it's easy. recognize and acknowledge that you are a sinner; ask God to forgive your sins. you must believe and claim that Jesus died for your sins, and confess or claim Him as your Savior and the Lord of your life. if you have any questions, just ask me....if i don't know the answer i'll find it for you!

God is in control. and He is on His throne....

God is in Control!

it's the monday after spring break...sure is quiet around here! wyatt's napping, getting ready for therapy later. i'm trying to figure out what to do first....probably getting off the computer would be a good start! oh well...we had a great spring break; i'm glad everyone is back home together. ethan had a terrific trip, and as much as i want to blog about him today, i'm waiting until his birthday next week. i think 11 days is too long to focus on how much he's grown up lately...

there's been lots of sadness lately. teens dying way too young from car accidents. car accidents in general. folks facing cancer and other life-threatening illnesses. folks struggling with their faith. depression. so much pain, heartache, confusion....

BUT i do know this: God is in control. He is good all the time, not just when things go my way. He loves me unconditionally; no matter what i do. i can't "earn" His love...it is freely given. Jesus paid the price for my sins so that i am forgiven....PRAISE GOD! i do not live a "works based" faith....i am forgiven and have the security of my salvation ONLY BECAUSE OF JESUS! how wonderful that we just celebrated Easter....remembering what He did for us; how much He loves us; the sacrifice He made for us....that no one else could! Because HE Lives....i CAN face tomorrow, and the day after, and the day after.....blessings to you!
