It’s been 5 years today that my 17 yr old son Cody went home to be with the Lord. We miss him so much and I would love for him to be here with us but I know if he had the chance to come back I can honestly say he would NOT leave his true Father and Lord in Heaven to come back to this dark, evil and chaotic world. Our minds cannot truly comprehend the wonders and beauties of Heaven but my mind is at ease because I know he is safe and sound with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. When I think back to that time of going through that deep, dark valley I know that the Holy Spirit was carrying us the whole time. At the time though it did not seem like He was there but He WAS. I know that because the emotions I was going through could have been worse. It’s because of our Great and Loving God the Father that those demon spirits of depression, guilt and fear did not overwhelm me and consume me. When I take my focus off of that tragic day and turn my eyes and give praise to the One who died on the Cross and shed His blood those spirits have to flee from me and guess what (?) they DO. The Bible says the demons tremble at the mention of Jesus Name. It’s because of Almighty God that I’m not on some type of medication to help me cope with the loss of my precious son. The Lord truly sustains me! God truly amazes me how he can make so much good happen after a horrible tragedy and an UNEXPECTED loss for my family. If I could go back in time and change things I would but THEN AGAIN maybe I wouldn’t because So many lives have changed and numerous people have turned their life over to the One, True, King, our Lord & Savior Jesus Christ and that makes the loss of my son worth it. Don’t get me wrong I miss my son so much that there really are no words that can justly describe how much I miss him but knowing that My Great God has a much better plan and He gives me a peace within that surpasses ALL understanding I can honestly say that I wouldn’t go back and change anything. And just knowing that souls have been plucked out of satans grip makes it even more worth it. And because we as a family let go and let God have control over the situation He brought my family closer together than EVER BEFORE and WE are ALL serving Him together under one roof at Victory Baptist Church. My dad is a completely different person, he got saved and baptized, he’s an Usher, Deacon and Bus Driver at church now. My brother got back on the right path he is a Deacon and he is teaching our 1st through 5th grade kids every Wednesday in our “Word of Life” program. His wife is over the Building Blocks School program. My Mama is over the “Welcome Center” at our church among so many other things around the church. My son has just recently taken the seat as the drummer for our praise and worship band at church and my beautiful daughter is a volunteer in almost everything at church. My aunt is a volunteer teacher for our “Word of Life” kids. And as for myself I am a completely different person. God has truly changed me from the inside out. I enjoy serving in our Bus Ministry and helping with “Word of Life” as well. Man, God is so, so, so good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Whatever you are going through Christ Jesus CAN and WILL get you through it. I am living proof. He can restore and transform your life! Call on His Name today, there truly is power in His Name. His Name is above all Names. Why????? Because He raised Himself from the dead and is alive today!!!! He is the King of kings and Lord of lords!!!!! Try Him, I dare you!!!!! #everydayisablessing #ChristisKing #Christisrisen
