Mitch's Journal
It's been over four years since Mitch went home to be with the Lord. Gaye and I though this would be a good time to share some comments that Mitch had kept in a daily journal. At the time Mitch started this journal he was going through a difficult time in his life. Gaye gave Mitch this journal and encouraged him to write down his thoughts each day and look for what God wanted to teach him.
As parents our hope is that our kids will walk with the Lord daily and stay strong in their faith. Gaye and I knew that Mitch was right with the Lord by observing his life and the many testimonies we have heard. But God wanted us to see what Mitch wrote and what he was learning everyday.
Everyday Mitch wrote a full page on what happened that day and then he would always end with this, what is God teaching me today? We'll share some of his thoughts.
On the inside cover Gaye wrote Mitch-Love you Forever...OX
On the second page the verse Isaiah 40:31 was written:
But those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength. They shall mount up with wings like eagles. They shall run and not be weary. They shall walk and not faint.
