Dawn was baptized yesterday morning and her daughter-in-law, Brittany, read her testimony. Dawn wasn't a believer nor had she given God much thought until her beautiful grandbaby, Lyla, lived only a few days before moving into heaven's hands. Although the entire family was heartbroken and grieving, Dawn saw in her son Marcus and in Brittany's side of the family something she didn't have: peace and hope.
"Even though Pam is the other grandmother, I could see she was handling Lyla's death better than I could," her testimony read. Dawn started asking questions and Pam revealed Jesus as the reason for her strength and hope. Pam explained to Dawn that although she grieved losing Lyla, she knew she would see her again in heaven. After much prayer and many similar discussions the Truth dawned on Dawn and Pam led her to commit her life to Jesus. God used this earthly tragedy to bring heavenly victory and because a family allowed God to reveal His Son through them, another child has been adopted into the family of God.
In the Name of Jesus Who revealed Your Nature so perfectly that people didn't know what to think
"Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything,
by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving,
present your requests to God.
And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding,
will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."
Philippians 4:6-7
"And my God will meet all your needs according to His glorious riches in Christ Jesus."
Philippians 4:19
"But when God,
Who set me apart from birth and called me by His grace,
was pleased to reveal His Son in me so that I might preach Him among the Gentiles,
I did not consult any man,"
Galatians 1:15-16
