Over the weekend I received some emails filled with shocking news. On February 2, two very dear and special friends went home to be with the Lord. Please pray for the families of Eric Falk and Emmy Scott. Eric and I worked together with the youth at Christ Church and Emmy was one of my youth kids.
Eric's enthusiasm and love for the Lord was infectious. And yes, all his awesome stories of faith. We taught 8th grade Sunday School together. The kids use to say we should marry some day. It became a running joke between the two of us when he was ordained. I told him that now he could really marry me, but as the pastor. It was something I hoped would come true.
Emmy was the sweetest spirit I have ever known. She had a love for others like no one else I have ever met. She was one of those 8th graders. She was never without a smile on her face. She had a deep passion to serve the Lord. And has been a blessing to me a number of times by her words of encouragement, just when I needed them. God used her to bring me His reminder that I was where He wanted me to be, more than once when I was questioning.
God took me to John 6:39-40 in my devotions over the weekend as comforting words. It doesn't seem real, that life here on earth just lost two very faithful and precious souls. However, God has just brought two of His own home whom loved and served Him with all their hearts.....He needs them with Him more than He does here.

Kimmie, we are so sorry for the loss you have experienced and that being halfway around the world must add challenges to that most of us will never understand. I know there is joy in the reunion you know you will have in glory; but there is also sadness that we all experience when someone we love dies. We will definitely be praying for you as you go through this process. We know that you are making a huge difference in the lives you are touching everyday and we thank you for sharing that experience with us.
