"Sometimes I feel cold as steel, broken like I'm never gonna heal"..."but I see a light, a little hope, in a little girl" ~Lady Antebellum

Hello World,

We recently had a very tragic death in the Grace Adventure family.  It was mind blowing and heart numbing losing this bright eyed little girl who brought so much joy to all she met!  

Yet the death of this little girl, which took our breath away, reminded us of WHAT and WHO put the breath in us to begin with, and that of course, is God.  It is the love we give and the love we receive that matters most in life, not the car we drive or the clothes we wear.  Tragedy can knock us down hard and quick.  But it can also be the force that picks us back up again, forcing us to stand with our shoulders high, reminding us to focus on what truly matters in life:  forgiving, letting go, praying, loving, and serving others.

Belle, we miss you greatly.  But you are not gone.  Your spirit lives on in the hearts of all who knew you.  You showed a group of people they truly are a church, who can work together and overcome anything.  You showed a pastor she is stronger than she thought.  And you, little one, showed everyone what it looks like to glow with the light of Christ!  

Shalom!

Pastor Annette
