My Savior

I know there are some holes to fill in but before I get to that I wanted to talk about what happened after God took Faith to be with Him. I went back to school that fall. I can still remember thinking how surreal it all was that I was back at school and just moving forward.

Shortly after starting back at school Clint and I decided to start attending a church near school. A couple of our friends went there and we really admired and trusted them. The people that make up this church will always have a very special place in my heart. It was here that I came to know Jesus as my Lord and Savior. Clint and I were sitting with one of the Elders, Lindsay. We had all gathered at his house for a hymn sing. We were talking about our daughter, Faith, and all that had happened. It was then that I realized what Jesus did for me. I had to know the loss of a child to understand what God did for me. What He gave for me to live and be free from the sin that I was and am so guilty of.

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whosoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16

I had to know what it felt like to love a child before I could even begin to comprehend what that verse meant. What "God so loved..." was referring to. What He willingly gave. What He allowed to happen so that I could spend eternity with Him. God in his amazing Grace allowed me to experience something that would bring me to my knees so that I could look up and see Him.
