DH and I are saying goodbye to our oldest daughter tomorrow. This has consumed us for the past 3 weeks and has been one of the biggest trials, with some AWESOME confirmation that our prayers for her, have NEVER returned void! All of the prayers of those in Him never return void!
She was estranged from us for over 15 years, mostly because we had adopted her oldest daughter. We adopted her and to keep her away from drugs and all of the evil that comes with it, distanced ourselves but never stopped praying for her! And out of the blue, just after we were visited by a detective that told us she had died, was a woman, God sent, who lead a Friday night teaching for addicts that our daughter had gone to twice before she died. The last Friday she had been, she testified about her life and what sheโd done to her family, her children and more, rededicating her life to Jesus. We also learned that she had been fighting skin cancer for the past five years, as well as addiction.
She had been baptized years before and God, He heard every prayer, and we know, that sheโs with Him and that sheโs not suffering any longer! We will see her again and God, willing soon! Please pray for us, tomorrow will be a hard day, but all the glory will go to Him! This same woman who told us about her testimony will be coming to tell everyone about our daughterโs testimony and maybe she can reach those family members who will be there and are unbelievers. I halfway expected them to beg out, but they donโt know about this, so perhaps her testimony can reach them, God willing!
I donโt know about all of you, my sisters and brothers, but I groan inwardly, I long to be with Him, to see Him face-to-face! This world has NOTHING for me, I ache to be with my Savior, but until then, I will continue as He commanded! Even so, Lord Jesus, come quickly!
