Good bye

I love the stories in the Bible. Many who do not believe in the Word of God have no idea that many of the people in the Bible were just like us. Moses was a murderer, Abraham was an adulterer, Rahab was a the harlot, Samson a womanizer, Thomas was unsure of his faith and David was lusting after another man’s wife. So often as I read these accounts of others lives, I realize that they are just like me – a big sinner. But I also realize that the Lord loved them immensely.
These people all had their flaws but they also had inner faith. Through faith, their weakness was turned into strength, Heb 11:34. I believe that through the lives of these people, God is giving us encouragement and hope to persevere in our faith.
In this day, Christians live by faith in a God who is unseen, but it is not blind faith, it is a faith that comes with an inner peace and love that God has given to those who believe in His Son and have asked for forgiveness of sins and help along our way. We are all looking for something to ease our frustrations, take away our resentment and anger and give us strength in these troubled times we live in.
I don’t know if Kel asked for this but I do know that she would call me and tell me that she wanted my strength, she wanted to understand. She would ask for me to pray for her and quickly tell me not to tell her sibling about her comments and requests. I will remember our talk - you at Lloyd's Center and me here at home.
I will also remember you as the little girl who washed dishes at the Wheel like an adult, who laughed and became serious at the same time, I will remember the horse stables we made together and the people I have met in my professional walk who have asked.” are you related to Kelli Goble?” When I have said yes, they would tell me how amazingyou were with delinquent teens and unsure parents and I would smile with pride.
I will miss you Kelski but my memory of you is forever.
I will continue to live my life as Proverbs 3:5-6.
My you rest in peace.
