God is Sovereign

God is a Mighty Fortress, He is Almighty, the Great I AM, He is all, knows all, creates all, destroys all, builds up all and He is Everywhere and Somewhere all the same. What an Awesome Wonder is Our Mighty God.



Please pray for the White Family in Madison Wisconsin. My workmate, Laurie White, passed away unexpectedly and suddenly this morning. She was in good health, very fit, lovely, and most important a believer in Christ. She had a knee injury and was scheduled to have surgery to repair a ligament. Last night, a blood clot broke in her leg and she was gone at 6:00 am today. 47 young years. She is the second company employee/family member to die this way in a month. My friend's husband, 52, had the same thing happen unexpectedly.

Laurie leaves to mourn her two young children, Chandler and Hayden (17 & 13) and a husband, Bob. She also leaves a company who loved her and grew to know her over 20 years--she came to our company out of high school. We are all struck by the suddeness; this is a loss that is difficult for me as many of you know I have lost three other great friends at a young age...



God is Mighty, He has the Master Plan. I must remain faithful and believe that all things work together for the good of them that love Him and who are in Christ Jesus. Yesterday an awesome and wonderful day, so many blessings to be grateful for in my life. I was in an accident and survived with nary a scratch! So I have been given back to my earthly family and Laurie, is in heaven and her family is grieving.



Today, I must tell you all that I love you with the deepest part of my heart. You have all breathed so much love, healing, truth, peace, encouragement, laughter, tears, joy, pain, giggles, silliness, seriousness, anxiety...all the range of emotions of life! What a blessed and FEELING life I have had up to today...thank you, thank you, thank you.



If I learn anything from death is it is just a beginning to eternal life; the choice is yours where you spend it. I am grateful that Laurie lived for her family and Christ. She got joy out of life and spent her time with family and friends--what a legacy she has left for her men. Knowing her, I don't believe she lived a life of one regret. So let's take that as our gift from Laurie--determine TODAY, to live today without one regret, no should haves, no could haves, no it doesn't matters, no someone else will help, no I don't have time, no I am too tired, no I don't want to be around people, no I'll do it later...



Please, do it now and don't delay. Jesus says He comes like a thief in the night and we always want to be ready for the time and day. Let Him come to find you doing His Will, loving your brother and sister as you love yourself; as Christ loved the Church so He gave His life for Her. That He would present her spotless, blameless before our Heavenly Father.



Do not fear, do not be afraid to step-out and shine the light of Christ on your children, your siblings, your coworkers, your parents, your friends, your enemies. I went to our executive offices today to give a few of the Corporate Officers a hug and prayer--they knew Laurie too. Reach out and give the love of Christ. PRAY PRAY PRAY without ceasing.



Bless you all and know you are truly in my prayers and thank you for my covering--His angels are at work. Amen, Sister Lisa
