I Can Only Imagine...

Today was a hard day for our family. We attended the funeral of a family friend who passed from this earth much before what we would consider to be his time. He died of a heart attack at the age of 47. However, his time was not determined by us, but by our Father, who has a much bigger plan than we can see.

Rusty Snyder was a wonderful man who poured his life into RVCS and into the AWANA club at Shenandoah Baptist Church. He was a great example to all of us of what a Christlike life looks like.

I am quite confident that God called him home and said to him, "Your work on earth was finished. Well done, my good and faithful servant." I hope I'm half the Christian that Rusty Snyder was.

Please pray for his wife, Sherri, and his daughters, Jessica, Ashley, and Beth, as they cope with the loss of their husband and father.

"I can only imagine when all I can do is forever worship you...

I can only imagine when all I can see if your face before me.

Surrounded by your glory, what will my heart feel?

Will I dance for you, Jesus? Or in awe of you be still?

Will I stand in your presence, or to my knees will I fall?

Will I sing Hallelujah? Will I be able to speak at all?

I can only imagine..."
