Mourning the Loss of a GREAT man



This morning a really good friend of my families past away from a short fight with cancer. He was such a great witness to everyone around him and I was so happy for him to finally meet the man he worked so hard for here. He had 5 girls the oldest hasn't graduated from high school yet, so they are going to need a lot of prayer. Please pray for these girls to stay strong in the Lord and not to give up hope. I looked this morning on one of the daughters facebook page and the oldest girl Garner Leigh said on her page what I think is the best way to say it : "You give and take away, my heart will choose to say Lord blessed be Your name. 2 Cor 12:9-10...please pray" As you can see they are all amazing people. Please pray for the girls.

This is the last journal entry in his website that is just a great amazing testimony to read http://www.caringbridge.org then type in stevecaswell

Hi everyone. This is Garner-Leigh, Steve's oldest daughter. Please beg God tonight for my Daddy's healing. He is in the hospital because his white blood cell count is extremely low and his platelet numbers are down. Im not totally sure what that means except his body cant fight diseases without white blood cells and his blood wont clot without platelets. Also pray for my Mommy because she isnt getting much sleep. God is still meeting every need, in ways only He can. He has calmed our hearts with peace and He continues to pour His love into our family. Thank you for allowing Him to work through many of you. You continue to encourage us and provide for our other needs like dinner etc. I want to encourage yal too. We aren't losing hope and yal shouldnt either. Jesus defeated sin, death, and sickness on the cross. As believers, we too have the power of resurrection in us! My Daddy is fighting a major battle right now, but the war has been won. Jesus is victorious. But please continue fight this battle with my Daddy and family in prayer. And also thank Jesus for sacrificing Himself to save us. He is what gives us hope, we would be totally lost without Him.
