As I read God's Word, there is so MUCH I don't yet understand and so MUCH I learn new every day.
For you will light my candle: the Lord God will enlighten my darkness...For who is God save the Lord? Or who is a rock save our God? It is God that girds me with strength, and makes my way perfect. He makes my feet like hinds' feet and sets me upon my high places. Psalm 18
I will bless the LORD, who has given me counsel; my heart also instructs me in the night seasons. I have set the LORD always before me: because He is at my right hand, I shall not be moved. Therefore, my heart is glad, and my glory rejoices: my flesh also shall rest in hope. Psalm 16

The every day ramblings of a woman who loves Jesus much because He loved me first, enough to die on a cross. And as His child, though I come short so often, He embraces and forgives...just as I am.
The Brood
Amelia's in Heaven
Memoir
For quite some time we walked around in fogs of darkest gray, wanting you to snuggle close, inside our arms to stay. Your loss was very sudden; a rug pulled from our feet. All the dreams we had for you were gone in death's defeat. Instead of coming home to us, you were born in Jesus' arms. Free from ol' sin nature's tug; safe from mischief's harm. Though we'd like to kiss your cheeks and put you down for bed, You are resting in God's heav'n, feasting on His Bread. See, life with us seems better than what you're experiencing now. We wanted you to thrill and thrive...yet God will teach you how. While we battle sickness, pain, and grief, you've conquered in the fight. And though you'll miss our earthly joy, you bathe in God's delight. We will miss you, precious gem, Amelia, Driven One. But your days ahead aren't sad; they're soaking up the Son. As our transient paths lead on, we'll treasure what's above. Disappointment in this life can't keep us from His love. We haven't seen or heard quite yet of what He has in store. But one day it will include joining you on Glory's shore. Until then we'll thank the Lord for a fresh day to breathe air, a chance to share the light of Truth; to laugh, to give, to care. We hope you know that Mom and Dad are oh, so proud of you...dancing, bowing, praising God...a perfect girl 'tis true. Thank you, Amelia, for your life has left us not the same. We still have questions why you left, but because you came...You've brought us closer to God's heart, You bring us to our knees. God's promises are dearer still. His grace has met our needs. Better to love deeply and lose than to not have loved at all. Your place behind our heart remains; engraved upon its wall. ~ Mom
