This is such an amazing testimony, Shane. Nick was such a blessing in my home. On his birthday, with Brandon and Eli were at my home. Nick had told me how you loved being a cowboy. Somehow, I mentioned Chris Ledux. And we were best friends. I told him I have a birthday gift for him. I gave him my Chris Ladux Cap. I don't think Nick ever took that hat off. Unless he had his cowboy hat on. Nick truly was never afraid to speak about his faith in Christ. He had such joy on his face when we shared about Christ. My faith was renewed seeing you and your wife speak at his funeral. I will tell you this I am glad I was able to watch it. It was one of the most beautiful funerals I ever witnessed. I cried so hard. I cried, knowing his presence would be missed. Just seeing you and your wife's faith had me marching right back into church. Praising Him. And thanking Him above, I was allowed to know Nick for just that short while. Truly such a blessing. Thank you, Jesus, for sharing just a little piece of Nick.
Thanks for sharing. We lost our son in December 2023, training for a marathon he had a heart attack at 39. He had a hard time after his friend was killed in Iraq. He asked why would God allow him to live and not his friend. I told my son that I didn’t know, except that Gods ways are higher than ours. I know Gods judgments are true but His mercies are new every morning. AMEN
I lost my 43 yr old daughter to ALS on Jan 9 of this year. When she was diagnosed in June of 22 I started praying for a miracle healing for her, as ALS is 99.9% fatal. As the days went by, I finally spoke to our Father and told him, if it was His will to heal her, thankyou so very very much, but if not, I thanked him for the time he had given me with her, not all parents are so blessed. She was my daughter as well as my best friend, and losing her hurt so very very much, but, like you, I was sad, but not the grief that I feel some expected from me. I cant say where she is, as I was a bad parent, I never shared with either of my children the joy they could have in their lives by giving themselves to God, and that will haunt me the rest of my days, Ive asked forgivness for this. I can only pray that God took her home with him, and when my time comes, that God has found me acceptable to join Him in heaven and that I will see her again there. I am sorry for your loss, your son sounds like a remarkable young man, but he is with our Father in heaven, a much better place than here.
Hello! Thanks so much for sharing with us about your daughter. I know it certainly isn’t easy. In your message, you wrote “when my time comes that God has found me acceptable to join Him in Heaven”. If nobody has ever explained to you how you can KNOW with certainty that you will be going to heaven one day, please reach out to me at witness@cprmissions.org and I will explain how you can KNOW you are saved according to God’s words. I look forward to hearing from you.
