To My Wife

My Sweet Holly:

I love you very much. 24 hrs ago, the Lord called you home. My heart is broken, I want you and need you here. But, I know now, you have your total healing. You fought a great battle and proven a lot of people wrong (even doctors) in this. Truly the Lord gave you strength in all of this. You are an amazing woman of God, a precious wife and an awesome mother. You were my strength (in the natural) as we pressed along in the ministry together. You were such an encourager and uplifter. Truly, as your friend said, an Angel sent from heaven. We laughed, cried, rejoiced, hurt together. Since you left this earth, Peyton and my heart truly aches for you. Peyton loves you very much. He adored you like no other. He truly was a mama's boy. It has been hard to try to tell explain to him what has transpired. I have been through pain before but not like this.  No matter what, through life or death, may the name of Jesus be glorified!

Holly, YOU ARE SO BEAUTIFUL!

You were truly example of a Proverbs 31 woman.

Psalms 116:15
Precious in the eyes of the Lord is the death of His saints.

We love you very much (from your boys).

Kevin and Peyton

Emmanuel/Immanuel

Good Morning,

The Lord is Good!!!

Matthew 1:20-25

But while he thought about these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, "Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take to you Mary your wife, for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit.

And she will bring forth a Son, and you shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins."

So all this was done that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying:

"Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and bear a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel," which is translated, "God with us".

Then Joseph, being aroused from sleep, did as the angel of the Lord commanded him and took to him his wife,

And did not know her till she had brought forth her firstborn Son.  And he called His name Jesus.



No matter what you go through.  No matter what the name of your trial is.  No matter what kind of tribulation you have, remember that God is with us!

Even though the doctors have given my wife a month to live, I can still say Emmanuel, God is with me!

To my wife:  Even though death is knocking, the circumstance seems lost, Emmanuel, God is still with you!

We are praying and believing that the Lord is going to raise you up for His glory!

Some spiritual advice from a healing evangelist of times past (Smith Wigglesworth):  I am not moved by what I feel, I am not moved by what I see, I am moved but what I believe.

Blessings
