This has always been one of my favorite (and best pictures I personally have every taken). It reminds me of our first date and it shows in her face how happy she was to finally have me (but we had not even discussed marriage yet). So I found it fitting since the first week of the pain of losing my best friend and soulmate has passed. It was a very rough weekend in more ways than one, but we won't get into that.
One of the biggest (and hardest things) I am grateful for today, is that we get to go back to worshiping with the saints at GCA, One of Amy's most favorite things to do was to listen to sermons, sermons jams, study God's word (ESPECIALLY with me (and I am so honored) and the girls in our devotional times). Amy, in case you did not know, loved the Lord our God, with ALL of her soul, might, strength. She was a witness and an earthly angel (I know I am being a little biased ;o) for doing God's work. Amy would share her witness and testimony boldly and proudly (sometimes got her into deep theological debates) on her sleeve and her heart.
Through the course of the four years that we were married, Amy knew with all of her health problems that she could not go as far as she did without the grace of God. There are times that she would cry and say that she could, and did not want to go on anymore. Yet, she knew the Sovereignty of God well, and knew if she was still here through all of this, there was a reason, and she would remain faithful, obedient, and run the race to the very end.
She could not have also made it this far without her church family, and Grace Christian Assembly (GCA) our home church has been such a blessing to our family before, during, and now after, to our family. We are proud and very honored to have such wonderful saints to have been in our lives. Although today will be difficult, I know that Amy is there with us in spirit and listening from the throne room above to her beloved Pastor Jim McClarty and enjoying the privilege of worship in the fullest presence of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
Wishing you all comfort, peace, and the richest graces of God during these difficult times.
Grace & peace...
