First Memorial Service

What an honor it was for Brian and I to be a part of the memorial service on Friday evening in memory of Levi Johnson!

I have never been to a memorial service before, nor have I been to a funeral so I really didn't know exactly what to expect, but I was so humbled and honored to be a part of the service. My husband Brian got to share a testimony of the impact that Levi made on his life and I played the guitar for the service.

I expected to cry the whole service, to be sad and to mourn...however God had different plans on how the service would go. Although I did cry...we all praised the Lord in worship, we were challenged to live a life like Levi and we rejoiced that Levi was in heaven!

It was such a powerful memorial service and we were all reminded that God gets the victory over sin and death as we saw several people accept Christ as their Lord and Savior at the service! Once again, God is good!

After the service there was a time of food and fellowship where we got to hear story after story about Levi and fun memories of him which was good for everyone's soul! There were so many memorable moments and he won't be forgotten!
