Hallelujah! I just got word that a friend of mine, Lois Walker, was promoted to Glory at 3:30 AM last night!
After that exciting Salvationist's proclamation, I must admit, I am torn between my feelings of excitement for Lois and sorrow for myself and her other friends. We will miss her.
I met Lois a couple of years ago when I taught at The War College in Vancouver. She was a student who was not a Salvationist, yet heard and heeded God's call to completely redirect her life and move to Vancouver for "a year." I say "a year," because she ended up living and ministering there ever since!
I will remember her calm voice and kind heart. I will remember her cradling a friend who fell asleep from exhaustion after we prayed with her though a particularly difficult inner-healing session. I will remember many things about Lois. She fought the good fight and has finally received the "well done, good and faithful servant!" from her Lord.
I won't see her again this January, but one day (and this is why I am so excited)- one day I will see her again because she has gone on ahead to meet personally and hang out with Jesus. How cool is that?

I think I remember the story being that as everyone else in her session was imagining what the rest of their life would be after War College, her response was "you mean this is ONLY a year? I thought this was it!" So now she's lived out her own prophecy. Halellujah is right! Thanks for reminding me that we do not need to shrink from death. Praise the Lord.
