I just want to share with everyone. We are beside Joel’s bedside, waiting for Joel to pass on to heaven to spend an eternity with Jesus. We don’t know exactly how long it may take. But it will be soon. Please pray for a swift painless, passing. Pray for Kim, Brett, Brandon, Kyle, and Joel's parents John and Shirley.
Through this process we have had family and friends visiting and supporting us through this time. Thank you. The prayers, hugs and tears are very comforting. God will sustain us.
A friend shared this thought with me the other day I want to share it with you. The day Joel was born God knew that this day would happen. Even though our life may feel like it is spinning out of control. God is in control of every part. This song has been on my mind lately.
Hope Now by Addison Road2
If everything comes down to love
Then just what am I afraid of
When I call out Your name
Something inside awakes in my soul
How quickly I forget I'm Yours.
I'm not my own
I've been carried by You
All my life
Everything rides on hope now
Everything rides on faith somehow
When the world has broken me down
Your love sets me free
When my life is like a storm
Rising waters all I want is the shore
You say I'll be ok and
Make it through the rain
You are my shelter from the storm
Everything rides on hope now
Everything rides on faith somehow
When the world has broken me down
Your love sets me free
I am not my own
I've been carried by you all my life
Everything rides on hope now
Everything rides on faith somehow
When the world has broken me down
Your love sets me free
You've become my heart’s desire
I will sing Your praises higher
Cause Your love sets me free
Your love sets me free
Your love sets me free
Prayerfully yours,
Kyndra J. Blackman and family
