We lost my beautiful daughter, Jennifer, Octover 22, 2004. She had been forced to drink Liquid drano by 2 men who raped her, beat her and tried their best to kill her. She had lost her stomac, her esophogus and all her teeth due to malnutrician. She was fed through a feeding tube and was with us eight hard, yet wonderful years after the incident. She hurt and suffered for sure, even shed a few tears but absolutely refused to give up, she loved the Lord and witnessed to many by telling her story. How proud her mother and I are of her, and how humbling an experiance it was to watch her share her experiance with others in similar circumstances. Today thinking back I remember asking God why he didn’t just take her home, remove her suffering. Jennifer taught us that Life has a purpose, we may not like it or even understand it but Gods will, be done in his time not ours. Is it right for someone to terminate their existance?, I just don’t know, I will leave that up to God and know he will be right every time. Our Jennifer was 32yrs old with two beautiful daughters and husband when the Lord called her home, she simply went to sleep one morning with no more pain, no more suffering and only glorious days ahead in a new body.
Thank you so very much for telling us Jennifer’s story.
God Bless you and your family.
And if that was her "purpose"......she fulfilled it graciously.
The Lord gave me a poem years ago...(now published) during a traumatic time in my life. I too asked why He just didn't take me and get it over with. He revealed to me "His Purpose". It's not just about us... what we want .....or who we think we should be.
One of the greatest blessings I have received since I was born again in the mid-90's was the loss of the fear of death. You know you will see your lovely daughter again. And all the pain and the tears will be wiped away.
So sorry about your daughter.
