There is sorrow about the physical death of our friend, Krystal . . .but there is an excitement that is beyond this world. She’s HOME! I, for one find myself wishing that is would be my turn to go also. I can’t wait to be there in heaven . . . with Jesus . . . around the throne . . . an over comer . . . a victorious one . . . welcomed by saints, by loved ones gone before! What a joyous celebration!
And so today, again, I search my heart. Am I ready to be called at any moment? There are things I need to adjust in my day to day activities, and so I purify myself. I don’t want to miss such a great salvation! What a Savior we have!!! What a privilege to be allowed to enter into that land of pure delight! I will make my calling and election sure.
“And every man
that hath this hope in him
purifieth himself,
even as He is pure.”
I John 3:3

Our sympathies are with you and your church family as you sorrow! Reading your thoughts of the morning makes me think of the song, "Wish you were here." Those of us on this side of glory truely are the ones who are missing out (as of now).
"Wish you were here, it's such a beautiful place! Wish you were here, nothing but clear sunny days. And it never rains, and no one complains, and we haven't seen a tear. We're having a great time! Wish you were here."
I've been so blessed by knowing Val & Krystal, and especially the girls....my heart aches for their family.
What a comfort to know that we will meet our loved ones again.
Keeping you all in my prayers during this difficult time,
~Laura
I love that song also.
BTY are you going to join the bloggers soon or did you decide against it? It can be quite scary to start, I know!
Aimee, this is Javonne from Berea. Julie gave me the address to your site. I just wanted to say hi and tell you that I'm thinking of you. I just opened a blog if you're interested. Hope to hear from you soon.
