My heart is broken ... as are the hearts of so many we love.
Yesterday, the Lord chose to take a wonderful and precious young woman home to his breast ... a young woman we weren't ready to give up just yet. I don't understand why God allows some things ... why in His sovereignty He decided it was the right time to take her home ... away from US. I don't presume to know God's mind in any thing, especially THIS thing.
I do know that God loved our sweet Liis more than we could ever have loved her ... and that was a lot. I am confident that she now sits at the feet of her Lord and Saviour and she's basking in the peace of His presence. Even so, WE are going to miss her amazing spirit ... her kind and loving heart ... and her sweet smile.
Liis was involved in a tragic car accident in Tartu, Estonia, that took her life and the life of 3 others ... still others were severely injured. Liis' sister, Iiris, was travelling with her and her life is now hanging in the balance. We are crying out to God to spare her life and heal her massive injuries. We are crying out to God for mercy to take away the possibility that she may never walk again. We are crying out to God to show His power in her miraculous healing. We are crying out to God for the gift of putting our arms around her soon.
Please join us in prayer for the family of Liis and Iiris ... for their family and their friends who are spread far and wide. For those in Estonia ... and those in the States. These girls will forever have affected my life and touched my heart. These girls will forever have affected the lives of so many. What blessings we've received by being apart of their lives.
