REMEMBERING JUDY
Judy Dilley passed away Monday and entered into her reward in heaven. She and her husband, David, were both active partners in our church for years.
I first met David and Judy years ago when they were a part in organizing a Vacation Bible School in the trailer court in Waterloo. I was a new Christian and didn’t know much about my faith. They saw my long hair and thought I would be perfect teaching the youth class in that VBS. They saw something in me and released me to touch the lives of those teens. It was the beginning of great things ahead.
Judy had this great hope that one day she would sing for the Lord before others. Yet, she also had this paralyzing fear of doing so. She talked positive about joining the choir, but always came up with an excuse not to. “One day,” she would say, “One day.”
Today is that day. Completely freed of all her fears and inhibitions, today she is finally enrolled in heaven’s choir, practicing, no doubt, for my arrival.
What will you remember about Judy Dilley?
