Precious Friends,

At 3:48 this afternoon, with family surrounding her bed….my beloved Memom met Jesus Face to Face. The past few days have been precious moments of caring for, sharing with and being with her. Words were not left unsaid and there are no regrets. We spent many hours in worship around her bed, reading Scripture, singing, praising and praying blessing the Lord. They were priceless moments of heaven here-she bringing it here for us before she went to be with Him. She is where I want to be….with my Jesus.

My Paken is struggling, as He wanted to go with her and is saying he will be there soon. Please continue to remember him in prayer. Memom was the epitome of a Prov 31 woman and she died just like she lived-surrounded by family and as a woman of great faith. The myriads of people from young to old that came to testify of her passion for Jesus and the impact she had on their lives was great. She was a “praiser” and she is doing what she spent a lifetime practicing, praising Him in her new body.

I am certain there will be words of tribute that I will write…but for now, these words from HIS WORD are our heart.

1Thes 4:13-18

13 But we do not want you to be uninformed, brethren, about those who are asleep, that you may not grieve, as do the rest who have no hope.

14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who have fallen asleep in Jesus.

15 For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive, and remain until the coming of the Lord, shall not precede those who have fallen asleep.

16 For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of {the} archangel, and with the trumpet of God; and the dead in Christ shall rise first.

17 Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and thus we shall always be with the Lord.

18 Therefore comfort one another with these words.



Much like I shared with our church Sunday night, live like you are dying…and do not grieve as if we do not have hope. For He is coming for us quickly and together we will see Him. Where do you want to be found and how do you want Him to find you when He returns?



I have a hope….and praise the Lord. Glory is seen best when we amplify our praise in the difficulty. So today….we amp it up. So would you join me tonight in worshipping like never before, and joining with the angels and my Memom as she stands around the throne and says worthy is the Lamb. My last words to her today were….go home RUNNING….I will see you on the otherside
ALL FOR YOU
