Time with Lil Will

For the past two weeks Sequita and I have taken time to get up in the morning and have family devotion. I ask the Lord for a scripture and Sequita gets the song and then we pray together. Well Saturday, August 22nd was a special day for us because we spent our devotion time at Will's grave site. Here are the scriptures that were given to me.

I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die shall live. And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die. John 11:25,26

Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnessess let us lay aside every weight and sin which so easily ensnares us and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Hebrews 12:1-2

These were my thoughts as I journaled in the family journal:

Lord, knowing that you are the resurrection and the life gives me confidence and assurance that Lil Will is alive and well in your presence and with the other saints that have went on before us. While we are still on this earth we will run this race and not allow anything to hold us back. I know among the witnesses that surround us is our heavenly family, especially Lil Will. Son, thank you for being obedient unto the Father and fulfilling your assignment. We miss you and we know that you are with us in the Spirit. We will continue to fulfill the mission that God has given us. I know you see the impact God has caused by your life. To God be the glory in all that he has done.

If you are not already doing it. I encourage you to spend some devotional time with the Lord and your family. Get a family journal and write out what is on your heart and allow the Lord to minister to you. You will find healing in His words and in His presence. We do every morning.
