LiChel - Graduation
LiChel was beautiful as always, with a ready smile and a laugh for everything. She has graduated from high school and moves on to the next step of her life. Again, I was so glad to be able to be here for her graduation yet so sad without Bobb here to enjoy it with. I broke down and cryed because of a letter her brother Lane wrote to her for her graduation telling her how much her dad would have loved to have been and that he loved her too.
The speaker spoke of moving in life and we will encounter the unexpected - yes we have had that - the unexpected and to hold on to the Lord. He will love you and hold you up and sustain you.
He sustains us through the unexpected through many of you - through your prayers, so much love. Some have said I'm doing well. Most of the time I feel like I am sinking and I don't deserve the love poured out to our family - yet that is how God works. He went to the cross for the undeserving, - me. With all His love He gives me strength each day. And for Bobb too. He has the hardest job and I'm sure feels some of our expectations of him and frustrations at not being where we might hope he would be. Yet he carries on also knowing of the love being poured out to him. We have never been some super spiritual powers, we have loved the Lord not as completely as we should have, but we have went forward every day knowing that there is no other place than to be in the arms of Jesus.
Pray for us as we leave Ukarumpa unsure if we will ever be back but with that hope that the Lord knows the future.
No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 8:37-39
