Ok seriously now.
You know how everybody always says that God is faithful?
Well, they say that because it is SO true!!
My family has been going through a super hard time in the past couple of months and we still will be but God provided an answer to prayer just today. It just shows that He is still there, that He still loves me, and that He still will never let me go! Well a lot of you don't know what's been going on and that's ok but I just want to let you know that God will never leave you nor forsake you. He loves you too much!! The main lesson that He has been teaching me lately is that His grace is sufficient for me. It's not like His grace is almost enough for me, IT IS ENOUGH FOR ME! Oh man, God is so good! And He has also been showing me that His mercies are new every morning. Like, every day when I wake up, I don't have to worry because I know that GOD IS IN CONTROL! And I love how Jesus teaches us things over and over and over again until we finally get them. That's how we learn. We're stubborn but He is patient. Oh, He is so good! He meets us in our moment of weakness and rescues us. He comes so close to us and is willing to be our constant companion and BEST friend! He desires to love us and He desires to be enough for us. If only we will let Him. Yeah, He's been teaching me so much. Really working on my heart! God is good.

If God is for us, who can be against us?
Haha...NO ONE!!

I'm outta here.

Sometimes it just hits you. And so many times you don't even know what has hit you. Your day is going along fine and then all of the sudden you have to stop and think. Of course we do. You think about what's missing, what you lost and haven't forgotten. You think about how you will never be able to forget. I miss Hunter so incredibly much. I didn't know that I could fall in love with a boy who never spoke a word to me. I didn't know that love could be this deep. His departure from this world is such a great loss to me. Even though I know he's celebrating in Heaven, it hurts so much to know what he isn't here anymore. He has had such an impact on my life. I wish all of you could have had the chance to know him like I had. He was a vessel. He was used by Jesus Christ so much and everything he did was for the glory of God. He was so strong. He was a fighter. He totally accomplished the purpose that God had for him, I have no doubt about that. And I know he's in Heaven, so I'm happy, but I miss him so much. I want him to come back. I want to touch his hair and kiss his forehead and hear his suction machine again. I just want to see him and touch him and love on him. But reality is that he's not coming back. And it's in times like these when God provides you with others to help you. Tonight He gave me my mom. She let me cry on her shoulder. She hugged me and held me up when I couldn't do it. She showed me that it's okay to be in pain. We just talked about Hunter and cried and mourned together. He was special. He was a gift from God. He was my Hunter Boy. I wish it didn't hurt so bad but it does because I loved him so much. All I want is to be able to hug him and love on him one more time. But I know that that's not going to happen. And that is good, God is good. Because if that happened, I would be wishing for just one more time and one more time. Hunter taught me to love. It's simple. He taught me to love. And he let Jesus Christ work through him more than anyone else I know. He was a shining light of Jesus' love. Hunter taught me to love and God taught me that He is good! His grace is, and always will be sufficient for me.

Blessed be Your name on the road marked with suffering.
Though there's pain in the offering, blessed be Your name.

Every blessing You pour out I'll turn back to praise.
When the darkness closes in, LORD, still I will say...

Blessed be the name of the LORD. Blessed be Your name.
Blessed be the name of the LORD. Blessed be Your glorious name.

You give and take away. You give and take away.
My heart will choose to say, LORD blessed be Your name.

I've got a hallelujah heart.
It's beating to the rhythm.
I've got a hallelujah heart.
It won't stop singing Your praise!

Even though life sometimes gets crazy and hard and out of control, God is still good. God is still on the throne and in control. He will never let us down or leave us...in fact He wants to grow even closer to us. I've learned that this week. God is good.

Finally Free!

I am Free!

I am free to run.
I am free to dance.
I am free to live for you.
Yes, I am free!!

Hunter,
Hunter James Kelly, you are finally free. You are no longer trapped on this earth in that body that just wouldn't let you do anything. You are free to do whatever you want in the presence of Jesus Christ. You can walk and you can talk and you can sing. Hunter, I am so happy for you. I am so happy that you don't have to feel anymore pain and that you can be free forever. I can see you riding your bike in Heaven like Reggie kept saying. I can see you practicing up for your DDR competition against Camryn. Hunter, I know you are having so much fun but I know that the thing you are enjoying most is seeing Jesus.
Hunter, thank you for your life. Thank you for everything you taught me. Thanks for letting me sit and read to you or watch a movie with you or just talk about what's going on. Thank you for being so persistent in preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ even though you couldn't use any words. Hunter, God did so much through your young life. He worked through you and touched so many people. And like Mommie was talking about the other day, you don't have to worry about whether or not you completed your purpose. Hunter, I know you did. You let God work through you. You touched so many lives. And Hunter, you touched my life. I am so thankful to you. You taught me so much about myself and about God. You taught me how to love others. You made me fall in love with you.
HB, you don't even know how much you will be missed. Your short life has impacted so many people. You have been a shining example to me and to so many others. You have shown me the love of Christ and you have told me about it without ever opening your mouth. Hunter, you are amazing! I am going to miss you so much. You were such a big part of my life and there is going to be such a huge void without you there. Even though I am so sad, Hunter, I am so happy. I'm happy because I know that you are in the arms of Jesus. I know that you will never have to hurt again. I know that you will never have to be suctioned again or go through hours and hours of treatment each day. Hunter Boy, YOU'RE FREE! You're with Jesus and you're free. I know that this earth could not hold you any longer because Hunter, you didn't belong here. You belonged in Heaven. But even while you were here, you let Jesus work through you and I am so thankful for that. Thank you for teaching me so much. Hunter I learned so much from you and I loved seeing you so much.
I loved that time in Ellicottville when you and I just talked for like 45 minutes or something. We were just talking about Jesus and about music. Hunter, I remember watching your eyes light up and your face just lose some worry when you were watching the praise songs. I am going to miss you Hunter. You were such a joy in my life. I am so thankful that I got the opportunity to know you...that God chose to bless me with your life. I have grown to love you so much over the years Hunter and I want you to know that I will always love you. And that you will always have a special place in my heart. I will always remember you Hunter and your love for Christ. Your sense of humor and your blinking. Spirit and Davey and Goliath. Hunter I love you!
Until I see you, Hunter, I want you to know I love you! I will never stop loving you and I want you to know that. Thank you for your life and for your encouragement. Thank you for everything Hunter. You don't even know how much you mean to me. Dance your heart out sweetheart. Run free and wild. Use the voice that Jesus gave you to praise Him. Enjoy everything that you have because you can use it now. You are no longer stuck here. You're free. I love you.
....I'll love you Always!
Cassie

And with your final heartbeat, kiss the world goodbye. And go in peace, And laugh on glory's side. ...And fly to Jesus. Fly to Jesus. Fly to Jesus, and LIVE! -Lauren, I think I only met you once but I want to say thank you for living your life for Jesus and not being afraid to stand out for Him. Thank you for all the hearts you touched and for the friend you were to so many. Thank you for your example.

Well as of tomorrow I won't be home until Thursday night due to working and Kingdom Bound. This is going to be a CRAZY week!! I know you don't care so you don't have to read this but I'm going to babble for a minute anyways. Tomorrow morning I have Church and Sunday School and then straight to a play-off game. So far my team is 2-0, hopefully we'll keep it up. Then I'm going to Attica to Jill's moms house to work for the duration of this week. Then from Monday through Wednesday is Kingdom Bound...watching...are you ready for this?... Erin, Camryn, Shelby, Abby, Cara, Hailey, Jaden, Jericka, Julius, and Jenesis. In case you didn't realize it, THAT'S A LOT OF KIDS! I better not be by myself because I don't think that is physically possible for me. Somebody else better be there to help me....there should be someone. I hope. Please pray for me if you think of it. Then Thursday I will work most of the day in Attica and if I don't have a game that night I will come back to OP and work until 10. Wow, this is going to be a very busy, tiring and stressful week, but very profitable.
