Emma Addison

Yesterday, while my Uncle Bill was pulling out of the driveway in his big truck, my 6 year old cousin Emma ran out of the side yard and behind the truck...
She is sitting in the Lords arms now....my mom and Rach I am sure are showing off Emma's bright red hair. She is truly abiding with him now...
Our family is in shock.
Pray, Pray, for her dad, and mom and 3 brothers, Tyler, Isaac, and Wyatt....they were her kings...and protectors at her little age of 6. They will be lost without their "Miss Emma"
Many family members flying to phoenix....Pray also for their safety.
My grandparents are both frail, my other aunt has multiple myloma, our family is fragile...give us strength...teach us "how to do this"....
We have eternal hopes...someday we will stand together again...as a family, but with our King in hand as well.
Thank you Lord for my family, the way they Love and Trust you. We have hope in our pain.....
Thank you for my church family, thank you to my friend who had to see us all grieve, and to my pal who took over at home while we went to Sidney...you two are the greatest pals ever....I love you both....
I will miss the stories that made me laugh out loud about our Miss Emma. Teach us Lord...Teach us....
In addition, I am praying for you, the Landing place community...We love you all, and are holding you up....

The journey hard at times.
Relationships you thought that mattered, that were just Sunday morning connections...lost....that's hard sometimes. But making relationships that have lasted, making them stronger, feels great....
Learning a new way of life....wow...abiding...yes.
Purging the crap I fill(ed) my life with...filling myself with wholeness...wow... abiding...yes...
Understanding what grace really is...way cool...getting rid of this person I call "self"...is so hard. I hate that part of me...but standing in the reassurance that my God is in control. Finding the song, "Great is thy faithfulness" as a part of my worship...so powerful in my life...so cool.
Anyhow...all things amazing when you walk hand in hand with a friend named Jesus.
Something also amazing...a little girl with way cool pink cowgirl boots...that she sleeps in, stands naked in and loves to show them off...someone name Danielle spoiled her...she is so cute in these boots, enjoy the pics...they are priceless.
