We know that we are to take every opportunity to share our faith story whenever we have the opportunity. We also know that most of us don’t do that often enough when we have the opportunity... or look for ways to create opportunities. Lauren McCain is still taking the opportunity to share her faith more than a month after she died in the Virginia Tech massacre. Lauren was videotaped on February 22 on the Tech campus as part of a Campus Crusade for Christ project to compile interviews of students discussing their faith. Her interview is an enthusiastic and profound testimony to her relationship with God. You can watch the video on the Daily Press website.
Perhaps the most powerful moment comes when Lauren describes a moment of longing for God when she was particularly down and depressed, and she asked God during a time of worship to show her His presence. She said, “As human beings, we're not going to see his face until we're in Heaven, but I was like, ‘Oh man, just let me die then, and let me see your face.’” Little could she have that less than two months after her testimony was filmed that she would see God face.
What a powerful testimony to a living faith.

What a beautiful young lady, she will never get old.
What a powerful and touching testimony! Pass this on!
Yes indeed, Clifford, I don’t know you. I don’t even know what you look like, who you are, or were you have been or what you have been through. I do know we all want to be there some day, when we have done, all we can for him, here on this ground, let us all pass it on and leave no brother or sister behind us as we press toward the goal, doing all we can to stay clear of the grave and not be drugged into it by those who are hell bent on getting there.
A beautiful testimony was left behind by one on her way there to that place, she did no action to precipitate her departure and she is there and will receive those who will follow her to the place of eternal peace and rest, in the arms of the father she is with the author of her body corruptible and soul eternal everlasting and glorious she will be when we see her there welcomeing us. (amen?)
