At approximately 4:30 AM, on August 17th, 2010, my husband of 8 years, went to be went home to be with his Savior, Jesus Christ. It was sudden and unexpected, but he entered the presence Jesus very quickly.
"Yes, we will miss him, yet we will always know that death did not have victory over him, for he had been snatched from the very gates of hell and brought into the family of God, transferred from darkness unto light, his eternal destiny changed from an everlasting Hell to the joy of being in the ranks of those who will spend eternity worshiping Jesus. For this reason, he knows, and we can repeat with the apostle Paul "Death has been swallowed up in victory." "Where, O death, is your victory, Where, O death is your sting?" (I Corinthians 15:54,55)" - From my Dad's blog.

Such a loss, but at the same time there is such peace in knowing where he will spend eternity!
Keeping you in my prayers.
praying for you continually, my friend. So thankful that you know and have the ultimate comforter...Jesus Christ.
I'm so sorry for your loss. You and your family are in my prayers.
I guessed correctly that you would probably choose the Care Center as the recipient of any gifts. That's a great decision.
Our heart aches for you, yet we have peace about the Lord's sovereign plan for you.
I love you, daughter.

But know the pain & ache & sorrow you feel still in this world...

Tears come as I read all this. You are being carried in His loving arms and the wings of many prayers. I trust you are feeling it too.

I will say prayers for you and your family. God Bless, Rose

I am so sorry for your unexpected loss of your dear husband! I'm so thankful that you have the blessed assurance that he is now in the sweet Presence of Our Lord!
That does not make the pain or grief any less except that you can celebrate his homecoming. I pray the the Holy Comforter be with you & your family tomorrow and the days ahead. May Our Lord wrap His loving arms around you and allow you to sense the joy of your husband now with Him and that one day we will all be reunited with loved ones.
Hold on to that verse and the HOPE we have in Him.
A sweet sister lifted you to the throne of God over at The Lighthouse of Prayer so I pray that
you will be surrounded with prayer.
In Christ's peace,

Bless you dear, very sorry for your loss.
It's Saturday afternoon and I've been thinking about you and praying for y'all all day. Wishing we could be there to just give hugs and share the special memories you and Mike made during your years together. I feel like I've gotten to know you better through your blog from far, far away than we ever did when we lived on the same continent, and it's been fun to read about your life with Mike and all the animals. Know that we'll continue praying for you in the days ahead as you adjust and grieve and sort through what is next.
Lizzie;
I have read your blog probably 10 times already and I have been wanting to leave you a comment to remind you that I Love you. I have been praying for you daily and I have been SO blessed to see your strength. You have such a great testimony and I feel puts mine to shame. I know you know this and I have told you many times if you need anything PLEASE call me- even if it is just to cry.... I love you my sweet little sister! Glad I could be there for you this weekend but wish I could have stayed longer. Looking forward to seeing you VERY soon. Love you!
