My Aunt Michele is walking with Jesus right now.
Days ago, she had a massive stroke, and slipped into a coma.
We prayed for her to wake up and live her days out here on earth,
God heard our prayers, but had a different plan.
She never woke up in her hospital room, but did wake up in Heaven.
When she woke, she looked straight into the eyes of Jesus.
No more pain, no more questions.
Just life, forever, in paradise with the One who formed her heart.
I will miss the love she vibrantly shared with all she met.
The way she loved intentionally and passionately...
The way her genuine smile and laugh lightened every room.
The thing I will always miss most is the way she lived life honestly, and encouraged others to do the same.
I always knew that whatever she said, she meant...%100. Everytime.
I love you Aunt Michele...We miss you, but know you are in Jesus' arms now.
He will hold you until we see you again.
Jesus said that He's coming back to take those who call Him Lord, up to Heaven to live with Him forever. When my Aunt Michele went to be with Jesus, my husband and I found ourselves longing for that day. It's in these times when the veil between Heaven and Earth feels very thin.
There were some who thought they knew Christ was returning today.
The Bible clearly says that no one knows when He will return,
just that He WILL!
We don't know the hour when our journey on earth will end,
but we can say
...Come quickly, Lord...
and experience His presence NOW and until the end of the age!
He wants to be near to you now.
We thank you Jesus, for making a way for ALL to know you.
The greatest way to honor the life of my Aunt Michele, is to open your heart to the God who saved her.
...May this be your prayer...
If you don't know where you will go when you die,
You can.
Ask Jesus to be your Lord and Savior.
The Bible says we ALL fall short of the glory of God.
None of us can get there on our own or through our own "goodness."
It is only by accepting the sacrifice Jesus gave on the cross that we can hope for heaven someday.
We ALL fall short.
But HE paid the price.
He laid down his life for US because of His great love for us.
My Aunt Michele knew that.
Jesus has saved her.
He can save you too.
The gift of salvation is waiting for you...
all you have to do is accept what has already been given.
If you want someone to pray with you, I'd love to be that person.
Please let me know through comments or e-mail.
The hope of seeing my beautiful Aunt again someday gives me peace and joy, knowing she is paradise even now! Until then, come quickly, Lord...to our hearts now, before you come to take us home!
