Hold On!
People ask me ALOT how I am so strong and how I hold onto my faith. First and foremost I choose to have faith in God’s promises. Secondly I keep my faith because I’ve seen what faith can do. Schuylar touched and changed so many lives through her faithfulness. She held a 24 hour stand on her college campus to raise awareness for sex trafficking and modern day slavery, she traveled to 13 thrid world countries to show others God’s love and found her true self along the way, she loved people right were they were for exactly who they were. Just liek God tells us to love his people. And in the hardest times and in her weakest hours Schuylar chose to follow her faith to a baptistry in Georgia. Her faith changed peoples lives, her faith saved peoples lives that night she was baptized. More than a dozen people were saved in that chuch because of her faith that night. A lady who was unable to get into the baptistry was healed at the very moment Sky was baptized that night. I didn’t know any of this until I watched her baptism video back several months after she passed away. I was so very proud as tears streamed down my face realizing the impact she had that night and so many other times on people she didn’t even know.
So who am I to lose my faith when my sweet girl was so faithful. But the bigger question is who am I to turn from God because he used my daughter to save people? I mean God gave HIS ONLY SON to save me!! If he would use his son to save me, who am I to think he would not use my daughter to save others. My daughter was entrusted to me by God so ultimately she was His and she chose to follow and be faithful to her Heavenly Father. He used her in 31 short years to touch and change so many lives, more lives than myself or many people will touch in a lifetime. So even though it’s the deepest hurt I have ever felt…I still choose FAITH, I choose the Joy in hte Grief because one day I will stand before my God and because of that I will get to hug my Sweet Sweet Daughter. That my friends is why I keep believing!!
