Joey

"Dear heavenly Father, make us into your people. Knit our hearts together till we are one as you and Your Son are one. May death enter all our sinful nature and be cast off. Let us breathe Your air and see Your light and follow Your path. Guide us on the way, fill us with the truth, may Your life pour out of us like a raging river, bringing its nature to all in whom it comes in contact with. Open our eyes to see and clear out our ears to hear. Touch our hearts so they are set, fixed on you. That every breath we breathe would issue forth Your praise and every deed usher in Your Kingdom. Until everything in Heaven and Earth is subject to the Lordship of Christ. Amen." - Joey Walter (April 2012)

We lost a dear friend today. My heart breaks for his family but through all this I know that they have a grace and peace upon them like no other.

What a humbling feeling to grieve and yet rejoice at the same time. Joey, since we were kids, you have always been like my little brother. My life has been richly blessed because of you. When it becomes too much to bear, I will take joy in knowing that you are boldly and zealously worshiping at the throne of God. You are healed and made whole! I will forever miss you.
