Going "Through" Life

Sometimes it tough going "through" life!   You can't go over it, you can go under it and there is no way around it.  Everyone MUST go THROUGH it ~ the good/bad, the happy/sad,  the easy/hard, the joyous/heartbreaking. 

Right now my heart is breaking for our youth director and his family as he is in his final battle with cancer.  At 41 he has just found the love of his life and they just had a baby boy.  He is truly a man of God and has touch so many lives, in particular, the youth of our church.  Brooks once said that he was the "coolest God guy" that he knew.  Chris Manzo is one of the reasons that we joined SJA.  My daughter, Brady, began attending the youth group at SJA in the 7th grade.  She just loved it!  She encouraged us to attend a service and after 6 month, we joined.  We joined on Christmas Eve as part of the kids' Christmas presents.  If Manzo hadn't been so awesome, we might never have found what I consider "My Church Home"!

I hate what Chris and his family are going through but I am comforted by his faith and his trust in where he is going when this earthly life is over.

Faith is not know what the future holds

It's knowing Who holds your future!

Thank you for the gift of Chris Manzo.  Please cover him and his family in your amazing grace.
