Finally Home

Unless you're totally out of it, then by now you probably know that my Grandma went to go be with Jesus last week. And praise Him for that because she so very desperately needed to go be with Him. She had been dying and was "on her last leg" for quite some time now, so we've really been praying that the Lord would take her sooner than later to stop this awful misery she was living with.

Grandma's funeral was yesterday and it was such a calm and peaceful day. A couple hundred people showed up at the church, and we all felt truly blessed to be amongst people who knew her and loved her and cherished her friendship. The service was lovely and I learned so many more incredible things about my Grandma that I never knew before! What an awesome lady she was!

One of the things that gave all of us so much comfort is to know that she is thriving in Heaven with all of her friends and family who have passed on already, with my sister Ashley, and with her beloved, Grandpa Cecil. The song "Finally Home" by Natalie Grant was played at my Grandpa's funeral and we loved it so much that we wanted it to be played at Grandma's as well. I want it played at mine for goodness sakes! It's just such an appropriate song for a Believer and Follower in Christ who has finally gone Home to be with Jesus. I encourage you to listen to this song in the video below and listen to and read the words. (Oh...and whoever posted this video does not know how to spell. Finally is not spelled "fiannly"...oh well. You get the point.)

I am here alone in the falling snow,

and the wind, it cools my tears.

I have been so wrong.

I have turned away, but the road was long,

and finally I have come to my knees.

I want to be...

Where I can walk,

Where I can run,

Where my heart sings,

and I feel the sun,

Where I can trust,

and I'm strong enough,

Free like the wind I'll run

into my Father's arms,

I'm finally Home!

Oh the winds have changed.

They blow slow and cool.

Oh the wandering of a fool,

but I have laid down

in my Father's hands,

where the weight of suffering

is carried by the arms of a cross

healing my loss...

Where I can walk,

Where I can run,

Where my heart sings,

and I feel the sun,

Where I can trust,

and I'm strong enough,

Free like the wind I'll run

into my Father's arms,

I'm finally Home!

Heaven has reached into my lonely soul.

Loving so deep and so complete

'til I don't feel alone.

Where the light of love is burning,

Where the past is washed away,

Where I feel the sunlight shining on my face!

Now I can...

Walk!

Now I can run!

Now my heart sings

and I feel the sun!

Now I can trust

and I'm strong enough!

Free like the wind I'll run

into my Father's arms,

I'm finally Home!

Now I can trust

and I'm strong enough.

Free like the wind I'll run

into my Father's arms,

I'm finally Home.

Welcome Home, Grandma!
