"I wait for the Lord, my soul waits, and in His word I put my hope" Psalm 130:5

Carter and Bradley singing at VBS 2010 ............
"As I long to be with Him, I must wait until His appointed time. I must hold onto His promises of deliverance and of eternal life. These are documented in His Word and are my hope, a hope rooted in the trust that God will deliver what He promises."
~~"Trusting God through Tears", Jehu Thomas Burton~~
Carter loved the song "Man in the Mirror", by Michael Jackson. Something I will share is that Carter was listening to that song right before he went Home to be with Jesus. I never thought much about this song, and have not been able to listen to it since Nov. 16, 2010. Today, God gave me the strength to go on-line and read the lyrics to this song. I also listened to the song with the lyrics displayed on You Tube. After reading the lyrics, I can understand why Carter loved this song so much. This song truly explains the kind of boy Carter was ...... he has a very big heart and was always thinking about the needs of others. It was in his heart to help others and it bothered him when he saw bad things happening. I will paste the link to You Tube if you get the chance to listen to it. This describes Carter .... we have to change ourselves, first, if we want to make this world a better place........we are selfish people and the changes that need to be made has to start within ourselves. I thank God for giving me Carter to show me this valuable lesson. Our Carter loves Jesus with all his heart and he has shown it in so many ways with just the short time that he had here on earth.
Carter is alive! Carter is safe!! Heaven is better!!! Love the Lord with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind!!

Thank you, Jesus, for continuing to use Carter to shine Your Light. Through the tears, it brings me peace to envision the day you welcomed Him home into Your great big loving arms and said, "Well done, my good and faithful servant." Sending our love...
I didn't know the lyrics to "man in the Mirror" before today. I listened to the song and read the words. How fitting for a boy with such a big heart to be listening to this the day he went home to Jesus.
I pray for your family daily and I am hoping this unbearable pain eases a little each day.
Carter is missed here on earth but Heaven is happy with him home. My granddaughter Kaity still misses her buddy.
