“Where can I go from Thy Spirit? Or where can I flee from Thy presence? If I ascend to heaven, Thou art there; If I make my bed in Sheol, behold, Thou art there…For Thou didst form my inward parts; Thou didst weave me in my mother’s womb. I will give thanks to Thee, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; wonderful are Thy works, and my soul knows it very well. My frame was not hidden from Thee, when I was made in secret, and skillfully wrought in the depths of the earth. Thine eyes have seen my unformed substance; and in Thy book they were all written, the days that were ordained for me, when as yet there was not one of them.” (Psalm 139:7-8, 13-16, NASV)
The Psalmist infers the following truths about God the Creator and Sue:
1. The womb is God’s creation room.
2. God rolled out Sue’s individual blueprint in the womb.
3. God sculpted Sue with marvelous material both physical and eternal; body and soul.
4. God knew and knows Sue inside and out no matter life’s stage or location. “Oh, let me rise in the morning and live always with you!” (Psalm 139:18, the MESSAGE)
5. God is breath-giving and breathtaking and worthy to be praised!
Sue Schneider was first a lover and follower of God and second a faithful wife to Jay and mother to Bethany. Sue and Jay made up an amazing ministry team of two – Bible studies, Parke Place, mission trips, neighborhood outreach, etc. Sue and Bethany were more than mother and daughter, more than friends…so much more. As Sue’s spiritual family, we were not privileged to see Sue’s blueprint, but we witnessed God’s finished work, and He is worthy to be praised!
GOD, YOU ARE SO GOOD!
We love and miss you, Sue! See you soon! Mr. Steve
