I woke to silence
Nothing
My heart pounding, my breath labored
Breath...
What is it she said?
'Let each breath remind you of Him'
'Participate with Him'
Her so filled with His Spirit
Longing to know the divine
Her never settling for the superficial
Always pushing to show the love of Christ
Her showing His love to many
That they may know His hope
My eyes close
My fists relax
I smile a bit
Knowing she is with her beloved
Knowing Tera is with our Lord
Who was and is and is to come!

Beautiful words, Phil. I love that picture of Tera. When I close my eyes, I see her twirling with her arms wide open and she is laughing and smiling that beautiful smile...dancing in the Presence and Glory of our Lord. I've had this image over and over this month. I miss her. Peace to you friend.
What you wrote is beautiful, Phil. She's got such a beautiful smile and sparkle in her eye. I wish I had known her. Comfort, peace, and blessing to you my friend. Jackie
Thank you, Phil. That is incredible!
May God's love continue to give you His comfort, peace and joy.
Wish we could give you a hug!
She was such a joy and we miss her so much. But, praise be to God for all his gifts.
With much love!

Thinking of you Phil. Your words are simply beautiful...
Phil, That is such a beautiful tribute. I look forward to His return and the time we can all be in His presence
Bless you,

I've been thinking about you a lot this month. It is a tough one. Tera was such a dear person and I miss her.
I am praying for you that the peace of God transcends all understanding...
This is such an encouragement and inspiration (as well as humbling and convicting). What a woman she must have been. Thank you for sharing her with those of us you will never know and for calling people to live as she did.
Blessings!
I saw my Mom commented above... I just found you and I love this pic of Tera... I miss her today and the last time I saw her was after we graduated from high school. I need to spend some hours catching up on you... the man Tera married must be amazing... I hope our paths cross here on this earth. Our life looks so trivial compared to what you see every day but if you'd like to peek at us I am at www.snipssnailsandlittleboytales.blogspot.com
Tera probably affected me more than any other friend my own age I have yet to have. I always felt connected to her and I want to do something to honor her... something... we'll see what... I feel humbled to even try to honor her... she's beautiful... Take care of yourself accross the world and know you have been prayed for today for strength and wisdom... safety too! Ciao~ Alicia
