Andrew lives with Jesus now…

December 17, 2009 by Leah Stirewalt Leave a Comment

Little did I realize yesterday when I introduced you to my 12-year-old little guest blogger that another 12-year-old was breathing his last breath on the same day. For months now, I’ve been running a little button to the right of my blog asking you to pray for Andrew. I invite you to follow this link to learn more about Andrew’s family and his story and his last day yesterday. Andrew’s mom has taught me so much about unwavering faith, and I’m so blessed to see how this family that has just lost so much be able to still give so much praise to God. WOW!

I’m sorry for the sad posting tonight, but I just felt compelled to share this news and to ask you now to redirect your prayers for Andrew’s entire family in the days ahead. As you celebrate the festivities of the upcoming days, please remember a family that will have some harder times ahead. While I never had the opportunity to meet Andrew personally, I’m thrilled to know we’ll get our introdutions in heaven one day.

Introducing a very special guest blogger…

December 15, 2009 by Leah Stirewalt 1 Comment

It is with great pleasure that I’d like to introduce you to a very special young lady. I invited her to be a guest blogger today and asked that she write something related to Christmas. She is one of my most faithful blog readers. She is the reason that I continue to do the Friday Lists, because she says they her favorite posts, as she learns so much more about me. Why would that be important to her? The guest blogger today is my 12-year-old daughter! Now…please welcome…Anna!

Hi! My name is Anna and my mom said I could be a guest blogger on her blog.

To me the point of Christmas is Christ. The word Christ is in Christmas. The time when Jesus was born to Mary and Joseph. Christmas is not just about presents and getting new things. Most people including me like getting presents, but that is not the point of Christmas. I think that the reason we are able to get presents and enjoy our Christmas is because of Jesus. He is the one that provides money for gifts. I am very thankful for how Jesus was born and how he would die on the cross for you and me. This Christmas when you enjoy getting presents and the holiday festivities, do not forget that this holiday was made possible by Jesus Christ!

Luke 2:11 (King James Version):
“For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord.”

Meet Leah

Leah StirewaltI became "twice widowed" when my beloved prince, Joel, went to his Heavenly home after a brief and sudden illness on February 12, 2017. I’m in a place of shock and devastation, but I intend to use this format to journal my second widow journey, much like I did my first. It’s my open journal, my electronic oasis, and it’s often the place I find true healing as I allow myself to “come clean” with my feelings. Read More...
