I understand that death is apart of life. I understand that when you die you go rest in the arms of our Heavenly father (the BEST place to be) I understand life here on earth is just our temporary home but I love this life. I love being a Mother, Wife, Daughter, Sister, Cousin and Friend! I can't seem to shake the death of Julie Mangrem (My pastor's wife) All Mark and Julie did was Glorify God. He has been such an inspiration through his wife Julie's journey. Like I have said before I do not cry for Julie I cry for Mark, Addi, and Major. I could not imagine having to say good-bye to Benjamin and Josh. Josh and I have talked so much about Julie, his daddy, and our faith. I love having a husband I can talk so deeply with about our fears, our faith, etc. It gets stronger all the time but Mark and Julie WOW is all I can say! I pray that one day Josh and I can be amazing spiritual leaders like them! I am so blessed to be apart of this AWESOME Church! Connect is where my family needs to be and the LORD is the one we choose to Glorify and Follow. "Are we going to church? "It is not even a question anymore. The answer is YES we will be going to Worship our God that continues to Bless us each day. The one that gives us one more precious day with our friends and family the one that provides for us and protects us! He is our All in All. Lord I am all in!!! Guide us! We Choose YOU!!!!!!!!
I can't wait for Benjamin to know more about Jesus! I showed him when he was one "where is Jesus" he points to his heart. A few weeks ago I taught him the "sign" for Jesus and it is the most precious thing! I pray the Lord gives me the guidance to raise a Christian and a Jesus loving Son! :)

I agree with you so much. When I found out about Julie, I cried. I don't even know her and can relate to her only as a mom and it makes me sick when I think of it. God uses each of us all for his Glory. I question why God's creation includes pain and suffering. But there is a verse in Revelations that says that "God will wipe away every tear, and there will be no death or sorrow and there will be no pain for the things that pass away...." Julie is in a much better place, it just makes me sad that here family isn't with her.
I just pray she can watch them grow up with Mark!
She sounds amazing... I'm sorry sweetheart.
