Amy, Servant of the Lord

     Amy, my very dear friend is hanging onto life by a thread right now.  She's had serious bleeding in her brain and has been in a coma for nearly a month now.  Thousands and thousands of prayers are being constantly offered up on her behalf, but right now it seems as if she won't life much longer.  Oh Jesus, I'm torn in two!  I would give anything for Amy to stay with us but I know that it may be her time to meet you.

Dear Amy,
     I don't know how to begin.  I'm so wrapped up in sadness and joy and worry all at the same time.  I'm hanging on to God and my faith in him, because I know that's what you would want me to do.  You've been such an influence in my life.  When I was a freshman in high-school, I didn't know a lot of people.  After every 10:31 connect meeting, you would always walk with me down the hallway to the gym where all the snacks were and talk to me about God and school and stuff.  You made me feel so accepted!  You were someone I could go and talk to when I felt left out of every other circle of friends.  On the back to school night for 2010, I was having some real worries and my faith was draining.  You immediately offered to pray for me and I felt so loved!  Your outgoing smile was always an encouragement to me and your hugs...what I would give to hug you again and tell you how you've affected me. You really demonstrate the love of Christ in how you act toward other people and have inspired me with your servant's heart.  If there's even a microscopic chance that you could live, I would believe in that and pray with all my might for a miracle.  But if you do go to be with your heavenly Father I can tell you that your time here on earth will not have been wasted.  You will see your Savior in heaven and what joy that will give you!!!!!!!!!!  You will see everything described in revelation...the river of life, the twelve trees, the pearl gates, the gold streets, the chorus of angles, and God the Father reaching his hand out to you and saying "well done, good and faithful servant."  I know...its what you've lived for all your life.
