Jesus commands my destiny.
No power of hell, no scheme of man
Can ever pluck me from His hand.
'Til He returns or calls me Home
Here in the power of Christ I'll stand.
For I am His, and He is mine
Bought with Jesus' precious blood.
Welcome Home Kaylee! John 3:16

Katie, We have been uplifting you and your family in prayer this past week and will continue to do so. Our hearts ache for you. I opened my book "Moments of Peace from the Psalms" to pray for you today during the service and the page I had bookmarked was titled "He understands your hurt". The verse was Psalm 31:7 "I will be glad and rejoice in your love, for you saw my affliction and knew the anguish of my soul". Yes, God does know the anguish of your soul and He will be there for you to lean on in the days ahead.
