Remembering Christa Leigh

My little space of healing, remembrance, and continuing life with Christa's memories.

Christa was diagnosed with medulloblastoma on the 3rd of Sept 2007. She bravely fought for her life, undergoing radiation and spending 1 1/2 months in ICU. She finally was able to come home with us in November and started chemotherapy then. Her road to healing was full of hurdles, but God met us there at every turning point and sent us many people along the way to encourage and pray for us. She finally went to be with the Lord on the 7th of March, 2008 where she now stands in His presence complete and whole. We are so blessed to have had her in our lives and continue to cherish every moment that we have spent with her. She will always be our little angel.

Yet I Will Praise

I will praise You, Lord my God
Even in my brokenness
I will praise you lord
I will praise you, Lord my God
Even in my desperation
I will praise you Lord

And I can't understand, all that You allow
I just can't see the reason
But my life is in Your hands
And though I cannot see You
I choose to trust You

Even when my heart is torn
I will praise You Lord
Even when I feel deserted
I will praise You Lord

Even in the darkest valley
I will praise You Lord
And when my world is shattered
And it seems all hope is gone
Yet I will praise You Lord

I will trust You, Lord my God
Even in my loneliness
I will trust You lord
I will trust You, Lord my God
Even when I cannot hear You
I will trust You Lord

And I will not forget that You hung on a cross
Lord You bled and died for me
And if I have to suffer
I know that You'll be there
And I know that You're here now

Verse of the Day

“You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous person, though for a good person someone might possibly dare to die. But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” (Romans 5:6-8)  listen to chapter  (Read by Max McLean. Provided by The Listener's Audio Bible.)
