Leave Your Mark!


I have never seen God’s love as evident as I did through the words of a mother while speaking at her daughter’s life celebration.  I have written so many times about God’s love, God’s will, and putting God first, and while I have experienced the grace and love of God many times, I have never been as spiritually overwhelmed as I was listening to her words. 

Although I have never met this family, I have been following their story for about a year now.  I found out about this precious little girl, Morgan, through a text message that my daughter received from some mutual friends asking her to pray for Morgan, a little girl at their school.  Now that I look back on that time I see God working even then by instilling in 13 &14 year old young ladies to seek Him on behalf of others, even when you don’t know them.  My daughter, Haley, followed Morgan’s story along with the rest of our family and church family.  We prayed for Morgan and her family often and had special prayers for her at church as well.  All of us praying for a little girl and a family none of us had ever met.  Isn’t that God!   

After watching this video, my first thought was she gets it, she understands that God’s will is far greater than anything we could ever put together for ourselves and that Morgan’s life has left a mark on others that we cannot deny nor will we ever be the same because of her.  It has changed me for the better, it has drawn me closer to my God, and it will forever be a mark on my heart!  I just wish I could express in words what her story has did for me and my family---but there are no words, however, there is a deeper love that I feel for my God, as well as, others.  I want this family to know that God used Morgan and her family to make a huge impact on the lives of others, including mine.  My heart hurts for this sweet family because of their loss, their sacrifice for the sake of so many, but my heart is also full because of their love for Jesus Christ that they shared with us all! 

Thank you Hasty Family for loving God and sharing your Morgan with us all!  Thank you Mitzi Hasty for your obedience and sharing your heart with us, your words pierced my heart and my family and I have been inspired through your Godly words to be more passionate to God's calling on our lives and to leave our mark on this earth!

The link to the video is below; please take the time to watch it.  It is truly the Holy Spirit speaking through a servant of God.
