Jubilance

Chapter 22

"So do you think they're okay?" Asked Juliette.

"Yes," said Meredith. "Grieving, but okay."

"Are we going now?" Juliette asked Meredith.

"Yes, let's go. Let's get you all settled in Heaven," beamed Meredith.

Juliette found herself before God again and she couldn't control her emotions. She fell down in worship and felt an incredible sense of joy and peace wash over her. There's no place I'd rather be... thought Juliette. She only couldn't wait until the day that she would be worshiping God alongside Molli, Alex, and her parents.

"Shout to the Lord, let us sing! Power and majesty, praise to the King! Mountains bow down and the seas will roar at the sound of Your name!" Sang the Angels as Juliette joined in. She was so happy, in this place, forever loving and worshiping her Savior, the reason she wasn't suffering in Hell right now. Forever in peace with her Redeemer singing to him, dancing with joy, lifting her heart to Him. There was no place she'd rather be.

"Are you okay?" Molli asked Alex. He nodded in response. They were at Juliette's funeral. They just got done singing "Shout to the Lord." Molli wondered what Juliette was singing to God right now.

"And now, we would like to say a speech in honor of our dear daughter, Juliette Mae Renyn," started Mr. Renyn.

"Our dear Juliette," continued Mrs. Renyn, "was the brightest light in my life. I wondered why, until it just recently hit me. She shone so bright because she let God shine through her. She has the most caring and compassionate heart I've ever seen."

Then added Mr. Renyn, "She not only was, but is so loved by so many of us, particularly us, her parents first of all, and next her best friend of several years who she spent most of her time with, and lastly, her first romantic love, Alex. All of you are so valuable to Juliette. You all mean the world to her."

"We'd like to end this funeral singing her favorite song, Oceans. She always listened to this in times of hardship, so I think we should too," concluded Mrs. Renyn. "Please stand."

"And I will call upon Your name
And keep my eyes above the waves when oceans rise
My soul will rest in Your embrace
I am Yours, and You are mine."

They went on to sing, "Your grace abounds in deepest waters, Your sovereign hand will be my guide."

Finally, the service closed out, and everyone said there final goodbyes, devastated, yet still at peace knowing Juliette would no longer experience pain or hardship, only grace and love and peace.
