Today a sweet, strong, faithful young lady in our community went Home. She was the mother of two sons and a very loved part of our Church family. Although I didn't know her well, it didn't take long to notice her genuine, gentle, Christ-like spirit. She will not be forgotten by family, friends, Church, community or anyone who met her in this life.
What I will remember most is her faith. No matter how challenging her battle with cancer became, Brandy never lost her focus on her Heavenly Father. Her hope, peace and strength were clearly and consistently anchored in Him.
I began thinking. In the middle of life's relentless struggles, He is with us. In the middle of life's unexpected twists, turns and tragedies, He is with us. In the middle of unknown outcomes, unexplainable circumstances and unbearable pain, He is with us. He knows us. He loves us. He cares about us. He holds us.
It is easy to become overwhelmed in all the details, disappointments and distractions of this life. Yet I am even more amazed by His love, grace and mercy. May I hold onto Him, His Presence, His peace and His purpose as each step of this journey unfolds. I do not know what my future will bring. But I am so grateful that I know Who holds me...and my future. May I focus on Him most! ♥~thl
