Breakthrough

Looking in through tear-stained aching eyes,
Swirling threads of choking pain engulf the one I love.
The ever-tightening, overwhelming web keeps closing in.
Helplessly I cling to the One who shares our pain.

Faith the shield that quenches fiery darts,
Too small it seems to raise us from the depths.
In quiet desperation I call upon His precious name.
I wrestle with all my might to leave it with Him.

Building up, the wave intensifies,
Dark blue turns to deepest, blackest night.
Every fiber of my being stretched in burning anguish,
Breathing hurts too much and tears run dry.

When will You reach out and hold her hand?
Will You fill the gulf that can’t be crossed?
You speak of purifying fire that will burn up every thread.
I trust in You alone my God and King.

In loving memory of Gag

Hey G,

I can't believe you've been gone a year. It feels like yesterday that we were enjoying those lovely low clouds on a cold winter's morning. I miss you now more than ever! I'll never stop missing you my boet!

I miss flying with you so much! I really miss your smile! I miss your enthusiasm, your zest for life and your handshake! The world is not as bright since you left but you left us with memories that will never fade. I am so grateful for all the awesome times we had together.

I love you and I'm looking forward to seeing you again some day. Have a ball up there and enjoy the flying!

Lots of love,
Your big boet.
