The pen written words in the margin of Nate's bible caught my eye the other night.

Hope beyond Hope.

The verses marked beside it were Job 19: 25-27 -

I know that my Redeemer lives, and that in the end He will stand upon the earth. And after my skin has been destroyed, yet in my flesh I will see God; I myself will see Him with my own eyes - I, and not another. How my heart yearns within me!

A crew member, Nicole's mom passed away last night, and this is a true comfort. We do have hope. Thank you.

I'm glad you're finding verses to cling to and this one especially that is from Nate. The picture is beautiful and captures who Nate. I love you beautiful Rosanna.

What an awesome picture and thank you for sharing those words! I had just read them earlier this morning and was thinking about the reality that some day I will see Jesus with my own eyes....heaven is a sweeter place with Nate there, and our twin grandbabies there....thanks for sharing your journey with us Rosanna

Rosanna,
I'm thinking of you as Christmas approaches.
Actually, I'm wondering if you will experience Advent in a truer sense more than any of the rest of us... longing and groaning and waiting in expectation for the Hope and Life and Love and Light of Jesus... longing for Him.

Rosanna, I have never left you a comment before but I want you to know that I have wept along side you as you journey through your different life. Please know that by sharing what you are going through you have made marriages closer, challenged me to truly be in the presence of God and last week gave me strength and verses to take to some high school kids who lost a best friend. Thank you Rosanna and I pray for you often.

I found your blog by following a trail from Alyssa Abbuhl's facebook page. I have read all of this blog and some of the other and I have shed tears for you today as a sister in Christ. I didn't know Nate, but he sounds like a wonderful man. I use the present tense because, though he is gone from this world, he still lives.

You will be happy again. I know it seems inconceivable but you will.

I admire your faith.

Bless You.
