THIS IS MY GOODBYE TO YOU


The time has come for me to leave BC. This is an incredibly hard thing for me to do right now but I know this is something that I have to do. I have made some wonderful friends in this place and I have grown in my relationship with Jesus, all thanks to so many of you.

Life is full of all kinds of things. We have times of joy, times of pure happiness, times of tears, times of pain. But through everything we have a Saviour to carry us through.

I have been so blessed in many ways. I have felt the hand of God on me for several years now as He leads me on an amazing journey of discovery. It has been a time of extreme happiness and intense pain, but every step has been a step closer to Jesus and everything He has for me in my tomorrows.



For Those Tears I Died
Words and Music by Marsha J. and Russ Stevens

You said you'd come and share all my sorrows
You said you'd be there for all my tomorrows
I came so close to sending you away
But just like you promised, you came here to stay
I just had to pray

Chorus
And Jesus said,
"Come to the water, stand by my side
I know you are thirsty, you won't be denied
I felt every tear drop, when in darkness you cried
And I strove to remind you,
It's for those tears I died"
Your goodness so great, I can't understand
And dear Lord I know now that all this was planned
I know You're here now and always will be
Your love loosed my chains, and in You I'm free
But Jesus why me?

Chorus
And Jesus said,
"Come to the water, stand by my side
I know you are thirsty, you won't be denied
I felt every tear drop, when in darkness you cried
And I strove to remind you,
It's for those tears I died"

Jesus I give You, my heart and my soul
I know now without God, I'll never be whole
Savior, You opened all the right doors
And I thank You and praise You from earth's humble shores
Take me I'm Yours!

Chorus
And Jesus said,
"Come to the water, stand by my side
I know you are thirsty, you won't be denied
I felt every tear drop, when in darkness you cried
And I strove to remind you,
It's for those tears I died"


I say a prayer now for each and every one of you. That you will know the blessings of God, that you will live the abundant life that He has promised for you.

Thank you SO MUCH for your encouragement, your friendship, the laughs along the way....it has been pure pleasure to spend this year with you on the blogs. Every single one of you is a unique work of art. You have all been handcrafted by the Master Designer Himself, our precious and wonderful God Most High. Revel in this truth ALWAYS.....know that you are special because quite simply, God says that you are!

I wanted to name all the beautiful people here who have impacted on my life in a personal way but knowing me, I will forget someone and then I will feel terrible!!! You know who you are, and I thank you all from the bottom of my heart for your friendship, your thoughtfulness, your kindness, your prayers and so much more.

So now I walk as bravely as I can into my tomorrow, and pray that my journey will bring glory to God. I pray the same for you.

You will be missed very much!!

Glad you have other BC'ers in your area. I really don't. Would love to have gatherings but there are just not the people to do so.

Only blessings and I hope you come back soon but honestly with spring approaching and then summer, I'd take a break for a while. Now its fall and we go from an 85 degree day to 40-50, you just never know what the weather will be. But its hard to stay off this thing when you are cooped up when its cold outside.

Come back in from time to time and say hi and if I ever get to OZ, I'll have to look my BC friends up.

Blessings!

Peace and love be with you always,
Ginny

Well, it's all pretty much been said by the others. Yes, you will be greatly missed! But I think we all understand you must do the Lord's bidding. But don't forget you carry our love with you for you are loved here!

GBY!
