Pray for the Bullock family...

One of my dear, dear friends lost her mother yesterday. Her mother, Esther, has been battling cancer for 5-years, and yesterday she went home to be with Jesus.

Hannah and I met back in 2002 during TeenPact, D.C. We roomed together and became very close friends. We've kept in touch since then even as life has changed so much for both of us. We both kinda met and fell for our men around the same time. She spent part of last year in China ministering. That's where she met Dan Lee. She married in November, and is now expecting their first child. Hannah has always been an example to me of someone who walks with the Lord. She knows him and she clings to Him as I'm sure she is doing now. Hannah has 2 brothers and 2 sisters, (the youngest is only 5; I remember when she was born!)

I loved the visit I had with her family down in Georgia. Her mom was a precious and hospitable woman. She loved Jesus, and her precious family. She was a great home maker. She had beautiful gardens, and was an awesome cook.
It's amazing, really--I only met her once that I can remember, but even that meeting had an impact on my life.

I am so very sad for Hannah and the others who are left here to grieve this painful loss, but I'm also filled with joy knowing that yesterday Esther had the thrill of looking her Savior in the eyes! Wow!

God speed the day when we can all look with wonder and awe into the eyes of the One who gave His life for us.
