July 22, 2011

Johnna lost her battle around lunch time on Friday July 22, 2011.  We know she's no longer in pain and joyfully singing praises with the angels, but it's still hard not having her here with us anymore.  We want to thank everyone for their prayers and their thoughts, kind words, cards and letters of encouragement, financial support and emotional support you've all provided to her and to us as we fought this war.  As she would have told you, she may have lost this battle, but the war was won before she even began it...

Don Moen - If You Could See Me Now Lyrics

Our prayers have been answered
I finally arrived
The healing that had been delayed
Is now realized
No one's in a hurry
There's no schedule to keep
We're all enjoying Jesus
Just sitting at His feet
If you could see me now
I'm walking streets of gold
If you could see me now
I'm walking tall and whole
If you could see me now
You'd know I've seen His face
If you could see me now
You'd know the pain's erased
You wouldn't want me
to ever leave this place
If only you could see me now
My light and temporary trials
Have worked out for my good
To know it brought Him glory
When I misunderstood
Though we've had our sorrows
They can never compare
To what Jesus has in store for us
No language can compare
