Joel is with Jesus in heaven for eternity. Joel left us at 2:54 a.m. surrounded by his family and friends, while we sang Mighty To Save Joel's favorite song.
Life is so precious and fleeting.
We will continue to post updates and information here on the blog. In lieu of flowers for those who wish we will be setting up a college fund for Brandon and Kyle. I will post details later.
I know you all are praying for us, we can feel it. We are blessed to be surrounded by family and friends to support us through this. We know God will get us through this. He may have to drag us along for a while, but we can do this. We will continue to "Make Memories" and serve Jesus like Joel would want us to do. God has brought us this far He won't leave us behind. If we forget we are counting on all our friends and family to remind us of what God has done for us.
Please take a moment to let these lyrics into your heart. Our Savior is Mighty, and Perfect in everything.
Mighty To Save
Everyone needs compassion,
Love that's never failing;
Let mercy fall on me.
Everyone needs forgiveness,
The kindness of a Savior;
The Hope of nations.
Savior, He can move the mountains,
My God is Mighty to save,
He is Mighty to save.
Forever, Author of salvation,
He rose and conquered the grave,
Jesus conquered the grave.
So take me as You find me,
All my fears and failures,
Fill my life again.
I give my life to follow
Everything I believe in,
Now I surrender.
My Savior, He can move the mountains,
My God is Mighty to save,
He is Mighty to save.
Forever, Author of salvation,
He rose and conquered the grave,
Jesus conquered the grave.
Shine your light and let the whole world see,
We're singing for the glory of the risen King...Jesus (x2)
My Savior, He can move the mountains,
My God is Mighty to save,
He is Mighty to save.
Forever, Author of salvation,
He rose and conquered the grave,
Jesus conquered the grave.
My Savior, you can move the mountains,
You are mighty to save,
You are mighty to save.
Forever, Author of Salvation,
You rose and conquered the grave,
Yes you conquered the grave
Lord, Thank you for sacrificing yourself to conquer the grave. Because of you we will spend an eternity with Christ and be reunited with Joel in heaven someday.
Your sister in Christ,
Kyndra J. Blackman and family
