A few days ago, a teacher who I worked with during my student teaching days lost her 5-year-old unexpectedly to a bleed on her brain. The little girl was put to rest today after a celebration of her life where 23 people came to Christ. All of this information has come my way "through the grapevine", so all may not be completely accurate, but the point I'm most impressed upon here is the testimony between the lines...
In a time where I have no doubt that I would have completely shut down, this mother showed her gift of God's Amazing Grace by giving her baby right back to Jesus. That she stepped out in Faith so quickly after this tragedy absolutely overwhelms me. I don't know if I've ever been so close to such an incredible example of "Follow me." From what I understand, the family shared the testimony of their recent journey at the funeral...and from their story of Faith, 23 people were saved.
Could my faith stand that test? I don't know. I don't think so. I just have no more words right now...just wow.
I do love my God with all my heart, and I will definitely be working on my journey of Faith.
It was very sad and uplifting all at the same time. From a healthy child to a bleed that discovered an inoperable tumor. Missy and Landen are incredible. Pray for thier little Mylea in the coming days, months, and years.
