The pain is finally gone.
The hurt has finally been taken.
You’ve finally reached your Home.
You won’t
imagine anymore.
You finally know what it’s like
To hold the hand of God.
You’ve beheld
the beauty of Jesus.
You won’t imagine anymore.
His glory now surrounds you.
All you can do is cry, “Holy.”
Your heart is filled with gladness.
You won’t imagine anymore.
You’ve danced with Him;
You’ve stood in awe of Him.
You’ve shouted “Hallelujah” to Him.
You won’t imagine anymore.
Your day has finally come.
You’ve stood in the beauty of the Son.
You’ll worship Him forever.
You won’t imagine anymore.
Welcome home, brave, fallen soldier.
You won’t imagine anymore.
As I was cleaning out some old junk from my room last night, I came across this poem that I had torn out of a magazine probably like 7-8 years ago. Who knows why, because I definitely wasn’t dealing with any kind of death or anything really hard when I was 14 or 15. Anyways, last night when I came across it God definitely spoke to me through it and it definitely hit home WAY too hard. God is persistent in me dealing with my mother’s death. It is painful but God is always there after every painful moment. The whole reason I am not in Mexico right now where most of my heart wants to be is so that I can deal with my mother’s death. Which to me means it must be really important to God that I take this time and listen to the Spirit and deal with it and receive the healing I need.
Some days are extremely hard but I get excited when I think about where she is! Like this poem says “The pain has finally been taken and she finally knows what it’s like to hold the hand of God.” Mom never did belong to this earth, she was way to selfless and way to loving and caring to belong here. She doesn’t have to imagine walking with Jesus anymore she actually IS now!! I’m glad she is finally where she has always longed to be but that doesn’t make it much easier for those of us still here that love her and miss her SO much. As hard as it is for me to write this blog, I know it is imperative in my healing process. Death has NO sting and claims NO victory over those who know Jesus Christ! I will continue to live in that truth and freedom and run into His arms!
Please pray that my family and I will find the healing we need from the only One who can truly heal! Pray that we will take this time to grieve but also to rejoice and give praise to God! Pray against any attacks from the enemy! He is absolutely STUPID! I know during this time God is preparing me for BIG things! To bring His Kingdom to earth and to set captives FREE!!!
“I heard a loud shout from the throne, saying “Look, God’s home is now among his people! He will live with them, and they will be his people. God himself will be with them. He will wipe every tear from their eyes, and there will be no more death or sorrow or crying or pain. All these things are gone forever!” – Revelation 21:3-4 –

It has been 9 years since my mom fell to cancer…..I still miss her to this day…..I can only tell you that with God on your side, things will be OK…..I know my mom is in Heaven dancing with the angels and watching over me and my family…..I wrote this poem on the day of her death and read it at her funeral…..This keeps me going when times get rough because it reminids me that she is with me…..i love you girl and you will continue to be in my prayers…..

Don’t stand over my grave and weep
For the promises I made I will continue to keep
I will be the angel that sits on your shoulder
And protects you when you grow older
I will be the warmth you feel on a cold winter’s day
I will be the cool breeze during the month of May
I will be the voice of reason to calm your fears
I will be the gentle touch to wipe your tears
I will be the fluffy white clouds in the big blue skies
I will be the love you see in your children’s eyes
Don’t look at my death as a time of sorrow
But as a reminder to live for today, by not taking for granted tomorrow
Hey Mary, Hope everything is going well with you and your fam! We miss you and are praying for you. There’s def a part of us missing with you and Katie not here, but I know that you are where you are for a reason. I pray that God will reveal new aspects of Himself and of His great glory to you, as you continue to wait on Him.
Hey Mary, I’m going to agree with Jesse…we miss you! Praying for you!
