Brielle

If you look a few posts back, I had asked you to lift a sweet little girl up in prayer.

Today she is in heaven, in the arms of Jesus not suffering anymore.


I am so sad today. Just thinking of her family. Her mom and dad, and 2 sisters...and how on earth you process such a loss. Even though they "knew it was coming" I don't think it softens the blow. I'm so thankful she was able to have such a fun last few weeks. Her family went to Hawaii, and then up to their cabin in Arrowhead. What a wonderful time they were able to have, and to just cherish and enjoy each moment.

Even though I never met Brielle, I have followed her blog for quite some time. And the spirit and maturity of this girl amazed me. In her suffering, she was always thinking of others, always doing devotions or writing bible study lessons. She was always looking for ways to reach out to others...she was just plain beautiful.

I am challenged by this sweet angel. What can I do to reach others? How can I be a blessing to those around me, and to those I come into contact with? How can I better my relationship with God, and have the desire to serve him that she had?

I know today she heard the words "Well Done, my good and faithful servant!"

I want to be like Brielle. She is a hero in my life. And I will never forget her.

Thank you Brielle for being so beautiful.

Please pray for the Murray's and their family as they deal with their loss. That God will put His arms of comfort around them.

Superbowl Reaction

We had a house full of Steelers fans (and one Packers fan) on Superbowl Sunday. We had just the best time hanging out with friends, eating TONS of yummy food, and cheering our team on!

Unfortunately our Steelers did not come away with the win this year.

I'm wondering if our friend John caught this pic the moment the game ended. haha


I love it when these little "moments" are caught on film. :)

Maybe next year Steelers! Now I'm just hoping my Vancouver Canucks make it far in the playoffs so I will actually be able to see some Canuck games!
