He's Home

Christian, the 14-year-old young man we've been praying for, has gone home to be with his God. The details from their CaringBridge site:


SATURDAY, DECEMBER 29, 2007 11:09 PM, CST
"I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. There is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day." 2 Timothy 4:7-8
His master replied, "Well done, good and faithful servant!..." Matthew 25:21
Christian earned his angel wings at 10:42 PM tonight in the arms of his family. We are beyond proud of the fight he gave, the courage he showed, and the faith he maintained. Our hearts are absolutely broken, but know he is pain-free in paradise.

Now starts the hard work. Your prayers for this family who has lost a vital and precious young man will be most appreciated.

Post-Christmas Post

I mentioned Christian in my last post. It appears his time is near, likely tomorrow. Let our prayers usher him into heaven. Let our prayers support and cushion his family. I. cannot. even. imagine. the. pain. [www.caringbridge.org/visit/christianbarker]

"Likewise, the Spirit also helpeth our infirmity; for we know not what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered." (Romans 8:26) I find it amazing that God Himself prays for us...to Himself. Wow. I know He's praying for the Barkers right now, as am I.
