And although we are sad when we do get to say those goodbyes and even when we don't, we rejoice in knowing that there is a common bond in the hope of Eternity.<BR/><BR/>I didn't ever get the opportunity to know Ileeta, but I saw the Joy of the Lord radiating from her every Sunday.

I know we are all still struggling in a major way with her death, but she would LOVE that we all got together and had lunch together at the Keg! I can not wait to see her and her gorgeous self again one day soon. <BR/><BR/>It was SO GOOD to see you!!!!

The thing about broken hearts is that God can heal them. It's often in the brokeness that we most earnestly seek the Lord. It might take awhile for the process of healing, but it' like He's closeby even in the pain. That's what creates the calm. No, there is no good time to say goodbye to your mom. It's hard for me to think of life without my mom, and her influence in my life-but you know Ileeta is with her beloved Savior, and nothing compares to that. Oh, Lord, come soon...such a blessing of a treasure-people we do life with...Thanks for the update on Kristi, she has been on my mind, her and her family. It might get very hard, and there might be tears every day, but knowing that the Lord is near-that's it; His comfort, His enabling grace, His love, His arms around her. Nothing like it. He is very tender-hearted toward the hurting. He sees the tears. I will keep praying,<BR/><BR/>Love in CHRIST,<BR/><BR/>katiegfromtennesseekatiegfromtennesseehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02703849303062043642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24028336.post-24448575905806137212008-10-29T16:24:00.000-05:002008-10-29T16:24:00.000-05:00I loved reading about your girls' trip.

Such a good story. $150!!! <BR/><BR/>And such a sweet post about Ileeta.

Yes. Amen.), I was the most struck by this part Amanda: "I shared with my mom on Friday night that I was really struggling to pray in faith for my friend Kristi. It was like I didn't want to pump myself up to believe God if He was going to disappoint me. My heart was already broken. I know that's not a great thing to admit, but such was the state of my heart."<BR/><BR/>Without one another to spur us along, we simply will not be spurred.<BR/><BR/>I read Ashley Kate's mom's blog on her condition last week. And she was asking the same questions you were for her daughter's life.<BR/><BR/>But when it comes down to it, I just really want to live like Ileeta and say blessed be the Name of the Lord and let go of my need to know and understand the whys of it.<BR/><BR/>Praying resurrection power over Kristi. Praying for her to be raised in health on this side to raise her children and grow old with her husband.
