    I'm so sorry

    Joshua,
    I am so very sorry at your loss. I can not begin to fathom your pain. May our God, the God of ALL comfort, be with you and your wife at this time and all the times to come. God must have needed an angel in Heaven quickly.....

    Awesome piece of scripture. Our youth did a musical based on this passage last year. Some very powerful words. :praying:

    Joshua,

    I am so sorry to hear this! I caught an earlier post from you anticipating the arrival and so opened the tread to only hear the opposite of what I expected. So sorry for you and your wife; God comfort you during this hard time and may you all find peace in His hands.

    Joshua,

    I am so terribly sorry for your loss. There is really nothing that I can say that hasn't already been said.

    Both my wife and I send out our prayers to you and your family.

    Joshua, I am with you. My wife and I have been through this ourselves, so I know your hurt and the anguish that you feel within your soul.

    You are right, my brother. God's hand is in this... but please don't think that it was to hurt you or your wife. I took this view for a long time, and all I did was build a wall between myself and the only One who could give me the peace and comfort of soul that I needed.

    God will use this to build both you and your wife into what He has in mind for you. Although, right now, the way is dark and the grief is painfullt fresh, our Father will take the broken pieces and place them back on His potter's wheel, and begin to fashion them once again.

    My heart aches for you both... now, and for the days to come.

    Your have my prayers, as well as my tears.

    Thanks so much everyone for the encouragement, and most of all, the prayers. My wife, Kristi, was released from the hospital this afternoon, and we praise God for her speedy recovery! We'll be having funeral services Wednesday afternoon in Branson at our home church, and then leaving for Texas. Thank you for your continued prayer and encouragement. We have felt them! Tomorrow and Friday will be hard, but we are so blessed to be surrounded by family, friends and several church families. How do people make it through something like this without God? I have no comprehension. It's hard enough with Him in control!

    Godspeed

    Joshua,
    Thank you for updating us. We continue to pray and lift you and Kristi up along with all of your family and friends that are grieving. I can't get you and Kristi off my mind. I talked about your loss over supper tonight with my family.

    May God comfort you and yours in days, weeks, months, and years to come.

    Godspeed,
    Lisa

    You and your wife have been on my mind all day. A song keeps coming to me. Are you familiar with Praise You In This Storm by Casting Crowns?

    And then the chorus that my heart has sung so many times, even before I ever heard the song...

    If you haven't heard the song, please, look for it.

    The two of you still have my prayers.

    He maketh no mistake

    Joshua,

    My wife and I have been there- three times. I is a character builder for sure.

    I am and will be praying for you.

    Here is a poem that has been a comfort to us and I pray it might be to you also.

    "He Maketh No Mistake"​
    by A.M. Overton​
    My Father's way may twist and turn, My heart may throb and ache,
    ​
    But in my soul I'm glad to know, He maketh no mistake. ​
    My cherished plans may go astray, My hopes may fade away, ​
    But I'll trust my Lord to lead For He doth know the way. ​
    Tho' night be dark, and it may seem That day will never break, ​
    I'll pin my faith, my all in Him, He maketh no mistake. ​
    There's so much now I cannot see, My eyesight's far too dim; ​
    But come what may, I'll simply trust And leave it all to Him. ​
    For by and by the mist will lift And plain it all He'll make, ​
    Through all the way, tho' dark to me He made not one mistake. ​
