I Can Only Imagine...

I guess I got my day off after all, although I worked from home instead. I still have tons to do but I'll do them tomorrow morning.

One of the girls that I work with recently went through her mom's death and today was her mom's funeral. When we all heard that her mom died, it was such a shock because we didn't expect it to be so sudden. I don't know this girl that well but she has been so strong throughout these last few years, watching her mom battle cancer. I can't imagine what that would be like and I don't want to. Please lift this girl and her family up in your prayers and pray that God would bring them through this time. Pray for His comforting hand to be upon the family and that they would rest in His peace and grace. One of the guys that I work with said something that was really profound, he said that this is the time when Christians should act most like Christians. How we should show our love and reach out in community to our fellow brothers and sisters even more. I wholeheartedly agree. I praise God that this woman was a Christian, because I know that her family is now left with the certainty of her destiny rather than feeling the anguish of confusion and mystery.

I can only imagine what it will be like
When I walk by your side
I can only imagine what my eyes will see
When your face is before me
I can only imagine
Surrounded by your glory
What will my heart feel
Will I dance for you Jesus
Or in awe of you be still
Will I stand in your presence
Or to my knees will I fall
Will I sing hallelujah
Will I be able to speak at all
I can only imagine
I can only imagine
I can only imagine when that day comes
And I find myself standing in the Son
I can only imagine when all I will do
Is forever, forever worship you
I can only imagine
I can only imagine
- mercyme "I Can Only Imagine"


Kate and family, my prayers are with you.
