Missy- I can't believe you've really been gone for a year now... In some ways it feels like it was just yesterday that I saw you smile- and I can still hear you laugh. But I know that's because you're not really gone from any of our lives--just separated for a little while--and I can't wait until our reunion in God's glory! One of the things that I kept telling myself last year was that even though her life blessed and encouraged so many people that if her death could bring even one soul closer to God that would make it so much easier for those of us left on earth to deal with. It's amazing now to think back on that and realize that- despite the grief- and through all of your faithfulness to God--this website- your talks at King's- your day-to-day reliance on God- everything--so many people really have grown closer to God! Just looking at the guestbook and talking to King's people- it's awesome to see that through all this things really are working together for God's glory--the glory that Missy now knows more than any of us can imagine! I admire and appreciate you guys so much for how you've served God so faithfully through all this pain!
