I went to a beautiful funeral yesterday. Kristen was an amazing young woman, very talented, gifted in so many ways. Her 'claim to fame' will likely be her faith in God and how she lived her 'short' life. She has affected so many. A CTV followup about her funeral can be seen here: http://edmonton.ctvnews.ca/video?clipId=1021867 (you will need to copy and paste in your browser and wait for the ad to finish) and also ... her testimony given in April of this year at Eaglemont church can be found here .. http://eaglemontchurch.ca/sermons/2013/apr/07/personal-testimony/
I listened to the words of the song she wrote both from the funeral and on this site where she gave her testimony and these thoughts on her relationship with God stand out...
'come in empty - leave filled up'
'bring in sickness - leave healed'
'come in broken - He mends every piece'
'come in captive - leave free'
Of course her voice and music make it all sound so much better but the essence of her thoughts remain. Healing - not necessarily in the body - but she was ok with that - she is now totally healed - and singing with the angels, glorifying Him, which is exactly what she was doing here as well.
She quoted Isaiah 26:3,4 "You will keep in perfect peace him whose mind is steadfast, because he trusts in you. Trust in the Lord forever, for the Lord, the Lord, is the Rock eternal."
