Pray

We just had a meeting where it was announced that a fellow coworker, Jessica Jacobson, was killed by her husband this weekend in a murder/suicide. She had 2 sons, 7 and 4 years old who will be with close family in the area.

I realized I had just met her in my meeting downtown on Friday, I was sitting right next to her. Very sweet wonderful woman, who has now unexpectedly passed into eternity. Please pray for her family and especially her two sons, that the Lord would minister life, peace, and understanding to the family. That He would shine through into their lives, touch peoples hearts, and fill them with the hope found in Him. Pray for my work, and my coworkers as they go through this time, for peace and strengthening from the Lord. That He would be made manifest here throughout this tragic situation.

He is our answer. Bless you.


2 Corinthians 4:3 was a verse on my heart this weekend: But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost

The people you know, you're sitting next to, the guy on the corner, we don't know what the Lord's plan is. They could be in eternity any moment, any one of us. If they don't see the light in us, if they don't understand the glory of our Lord and savior Jesus Christ...they could be gone any moment. Don't settle for them to travel into a Godless eternity, show them the way into His glorious presence.

His ways are higher than our ways, and His thoughts are not our thoughts.

We might not understand why, or how, but the Lord has His purposes His plans that we can't even begin to see the reasons for. We can trust the Lord.

Believing in Him is the answer. Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. We are sinners, failing all the stinkin time! Far from perfect. But God is perfect. Accepting Jesus, His payment on the cross for our sins, is our propitiation, our access to God. He has done it all for us, the free gift is presented, all that's left is to take it. Simple faith is all that is needed to guarantee your name in the lamb's book of life. He is our all in all.
