Posted in Prayer and Praises
So many things are rushing through my heart and soul this morning as I read about the passing of Missey Gray My heart is very heavy. As I have been praying and reading about
the recent sicknesses and deaths, I believe in my heart that the Lord
is preparing me and calling me to be strong as I have been watching my
friend slowly die of a brain tumor. I know that He can change
everything this very minute. He also very graciously allowed me to be
His hands administering a diet to my friend Kristy 
that raised her from her death bed in Aug. 2005,
I couldn't believe my eyes or my ears as my friend began to move and
speak again but I can't go into detail about all that transpired
between Aug and now but it has been heart wrenching watching her lose
her ability to swallow as she spends most of her time in a semi
conscious / sleep state. During her awake times, if one of her
fav Christian CD's are playing it is not uncommon to find her hand
raised to the Lord in worship. As I've read about the others, the
tugging on my heart will not go away as I ask any one who visits to
please lift Kristy in prayer along with the others that we have been
praying for. *Jesus wept* keeps ringing loud and clear,
but was He groaning for Himself or Lazarus? The Word tells us
that the onlookers said "Oh, How he must have loved Lazarus" as they
watched Jesus cry. Yes indeed, Jesus *did* love Lazarus but I
believe He wept for Martha, Mary and yes, for us. Jesus knew He was
going to call Lazarus from the tomb, Jesus is stronger than the grave,
He was more so groaning for us. If He takes Kristy to be with
Him, she will never die again as Lazarus did. The pain is very
real for those of us left behind. I always tell new homeschool
mothers when their children seem to do nothing but wear them out, cherish these moments, for they will soon be passed.

Likewise,
our time here on earth will soon be over. The weeping for our
loved ones will last but for a season but joy comes in the morning.
I believe that as Jesus groaned and wept, He had been weeping for
us. He knew the many tears that we would shed................
Psalm 56: 8 You have taken account of my wanderings; Put my tears in Your bottle, Are they not in Your book?I want to leave you with a link that Pattycake shared on her blog with regard to Missey;
