~~R.I.P Tracy, may you rest in paradise, you will be missed by me, also you will always be in my prayers....below is a prayer that I had asked my older sister to write for you & your family...forever your friend~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Heavenly Peace~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In times of difficulty, we must trust that God is with us. When things seem too hard to bear, we must hold on and realize that He will help us. When we decide that we can no longer handle the issues that come about in our lives, we need to trust God. He is faithful. He will not let us down. He said, His thoughts are not our thoughts, and His ways are not our ways. When we begin to think, we plan, and those plans may become actions. It is very important to consider what it is that we are thinking about.. What we are planning, because that brings about the result of action. We must be strong. Life is a very precious gift from God. And I believe His souls are even more precious to Him. In a time of hurt, He does care and He does comfort. He loves us very much. When we feel that we are standing alone, He is always there. When we feel that we don't have the strength of our own, He is our strength. He hears our cries, He wipes away our tears.. He heals our broken hearts. He does understand the pain that we endure. He gives us hope. He gave us His Son Jesus, that we may know life, and more abundantly. He brought freedom. Freedom from so many things. He fills those voids that we may feel. He will lift us up. He will protect and He will provide. And now things are in His hands. Her soul is now in His hands. It is not for us to decide when we will leave, when another will leave.. That power belongs to God. We must pray for those souls, who have decided in their heart, that they will take on that power. We will love them and we will continue to love God in His righteousness. He loves us and He will never leave us. His Word promises that He will never leave our side. He wants us to be encouraged.. To know that another day is a new day. It is a hope. A chance for another beginning, to move forward, to do those things we are here to do. We have purpose. We have meaning. He has placed passion and vision and His Spirit to guide us. He doesn't want us to be afraid, but to take the challenge, and to come out successfully. Knowing that we have done our best. And for what has happened, she feels there has been reason. There may be lessons. And now those who are here, will live out her desire. Right or wrong, it is not for us to decide. We are not God. We will keep our heads up and look to God for His help. Never give up. Don't look back, but encounter every moment as a very gift to be spent in the presence of God. He has filled us with His very special essence of Who He is.. And He wants us to realize, that we have more power than we may ever think. And today the power He wants us to move in is called Love. To love each other, and to know that no matter what.. He does love us. He loves us so much. Thank You. Thank you.. ~Minister In Training, God's servant Rita Greenbird~
