HOOYAH TYLER WOODLE

Tyler's gift

Have you ever been to a movie, or read a book or to some special event, one that you were enjoying so very much that you did not want it to end? You sat there trying to enjoy it but knowing in the back of your mind that it would soon be over and you dreaded it even before it happened? I've been there!
When I think of my Tyler, and realize that tomorrow will be a landmark in his homegoing. He will be gone from us a full year. I really never thought that I would be able to get through one whole year without my son, but God has carried me all the way.

....Back to the movie or the wonderful whatever that we so enjoy... Imagine with me what Tyler is enjoying! This year has been long and hard for those of us who loved him and miss him so much, yet for Tyler it is only seconds since he came into the presence of Jesus Christ! The wonder of it all is so very amazing, the experience of worship consumes his very being. He does not think of how long it will last, trying to enjoy each moment, dreading the end. He is enjoying this wonderful experience without end, without fear of missing a moment of it. It is his forever gift from his Savior Jesus Christ. This gift was promised to him as a little boy, he did not earn it and he could not loose it. He is enjoying the most costly gift of all, eternity with our Lord. This gift was given to him February 16,2010 and he will enjoy it forever! However our lives here must go on.. we enjoy some of this life, the parts we do not want to end (like the movie,etc.) and then there are the hard parts..I understand more fully now how much this gift of eternal life means to me...this life will end some day..but life with Jesus will go on forever...til then, I choose to enjoy what I can, endure what I must and do the work I'm given to do until He calls me home...Tyler is not just at peace or at rest as some say, he is enjoying life a whole new way!! We will see Tyler again and that's a promise from our Savior!! Until then, he is enjoying every moment and we are living in the light of eternity to come! Looking upward to Heaven, come soon Lord Jesus!

A New Year...

2011.......this is the first year in 27 years that I begin a year without my son, Tyler. God has blessed me so very much through the years since I met my dear husband Ron. He gave me Ron as my soul mate, my husband, my love. He gave me a little girl, Sumer, to love and to be taught how to love by. She was sweet, loving and always happy. He gave me a baby boy, Tyler. So sweet, kind, loving and full of fun. He gave me a baby girl, Jerica. A true little princess, gentle, funny and quietly adventurous. Then He gave me Himself, as my Savior. Through the years and many trials He has been my constant teacher, my comfort, my friend, my Lord. Through my family He has taught me much about life and love. He uses them still, and even though my Tyler is with Him now, Tyler lived life in such a way that his presence still amazes me. thank You Lord for these precious gifts. I look forward to this new year with my family and with You beside me. If Tyler cannot be with us I am learning to trust that through Your great love and wisdom, the best place he can be is with You. Happy New Year!!

Christmas Eve.....

It is Christmas Eve, 2010! This is a different kind of Christmas for us and it will always be different. But our lives change in a moment! I have heard that all my life and am just now really beginning to fully understand "a Moment" in a second your life and mine can change! Ours did, this Christmas consider your lives, are you ready to meet Jesus, do you know Him as Savior and Lord? Have you said yes to the Creator of everyting, the One Who knows and loves you best? Think it over!
Also, have you enjoyed your lives with no regrets? It's not too late to change that. Go back and make amends with your friends and family. Tell everyone you love them. Make time for people in your life. Enjoy life to the fullest! Its a gift!! Give it away for others, don't be selfish! Live in the moment, you never know which one is the last one!!

May God bless you this Christmas and for many more to come!
Happy Birthday Jesus!! Kiss my Tyler for me!!

A Message to our SEALS today......

We love you guys and we are praying for you every day, throughout the days! We do not understand how hard it is for you but we know that it is a hard job you do for us. We know it is cold there because it is cold here. We want you to know that you are not alone at any time. God loves you and He is with you. I reminded Tyler many times that when things were rough or he was lonely that all he had to do was whisper the name of Jesus and he would feel His nearness. He is with you and He loves you. When I pray for you I pray for God's presence to be felt, for His love to comfort, for His mighty strength to protect your minds and bodies, I also pray that His breath would blow a warm breeze over you when you need it most. Keep looking up, He is with you. Christmas is God coming to earth to be with us on our level in the form of His Son Jesus Christ. Emmanuel, God with us!! ISAIAH 40:28-31 "Do you not know? Have you not heard? the Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and His understanding no one can fathom. He gives strength to the weary, and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles, they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint." 41:10 "So do not fear I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will unphold you with my righteous right hand" HOOYAH these are promises to keep!! We love you all, God bless you and hold you Have a Blessed CHRISTmas!
