Half a year

Wow. Six months.

How can it be that six months have already passed?

Pinky has posted a video she put together. It is a sweet tribute to SixBit. The pictures are poignant; the song is powerful.

For full effect, check it out on her blog. What she wrote is perfect, and I don't think I could say it any better if I tried to write it here on my own. I am awed at Pinky's strength and growth in all of this. God is absolutely using her in this tragedy to do amazing things for His glory. Our earthly loss of SixBit was not pointless. God is still doing great things through the testimony of his life.

I am linking the video (turn off Amazing Grace), but please go here to read Pinky's testimony to God's merciful hand in all of this. Below the video link, she has the lyrics to the Casting Crowns song. Read them. Really read them. Our hope and strength truly comes from the Lord.

For God, who said, "Let light shine out of darkness,"

made His light shine in our hearts

to give us the light of the knowledge of the glory of God

in the face of Christ.

But we have this treasure in jars of clay

to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us.

We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed;

perplexed, but not in despair;

persecuted, but not abandoned;

struck down, but not destroyed.

~2 Corinthians 4:6-9~
