Thank you so much for all your love, heartfelt thoughts and prayers!
I just wanted to ask real quick to please send any cards, etc to my parents house in NC, which is where I'll be going soon. The address is on the left side of the blog, just scroll down. Thanks so much!
God bless you guys for lifting me up into Jesus' arms during this time. I can totally feel His incredible grace, perfect peace, and intense love for me. I'm so thankful that Cody is experiencing LIFE now, true life. I know that where he is is more real than where we are. My heart and soul are constantly comforted in the fact that Cody is with Jesus. He's not in anymore pain or suffering in his earthly body. I just know that he's having an amazing time right now.. probably surfing waves with Jesus :)
Cody IS healed! God answered our prayers. Yeah it totally looks a lot different than we all hoped and prayed for, but I just know that God's ways are not our ways. His thoughts are so much higher than our own. He is Sovereign and in total control. His word is my anchor!
Details about the celebration service are still in the works, but I will definitely post that as soon as we know. It will be on saturday, but I don't know anymore than that.

Amy,
You will never know how you and Cody have touched our lives. Your amazing testimonies, love for God, courage, and strength will always remain present in the lives of those you have both touched. Cody is now absent from this world, and eating at our Masters table! We will be praying for you and your family. I know your amazing strength is touching so many right now, and God will continue to use you through this difficult time. If there is anything else we can do for you, please, please, let us know.
All of our love,
Josh and Angela
While I was painting a wall on Saturday, I was thinking of Cody and you. I kept asking God the why question. I know His ways are not ours...and yet, I tried to be very logical with Him.
As I painted in silence this thought went through my head... Amy knows what true love really feels like... and now she knows how much deeper God's love is for her....much much deeper than her love for Cody.
For a moment... I though it was so illogical for someone to have to suffer so much to prove a love so deep...
and then I thought of Jesus...and it all made sense.
God loves you Amy...much much more than you could have ever loved Cody. How wide? How deep? How long?
Cody knows now...and one day we will all know.
In deed Cody is healed. And there is something healed in each of us who knew him. Some day I will have to try to write about the experience of him...for now, I struggle with describing what his human-ness was like. Blessings and Peace to all who love him!
Yes, Amy, you have more than ever touched my life and heart. You and Cody showed me what it truly meant to live a life fully surrendered to God. I got to see what it meant to praise Him in the midst of a storm. I can't wait to see you soon. I am here for you. I will always be.
love you,
Kristina
We are going to miss Cody but Surfing with Jesus, how could he pass that up....I still remember the day when he was telling me how much he loved you....it was shortly after you arrived to STN. I was thinking, is this guy for real afterall you has only just arrived but he was sure! He was trying to find out cool places to take you. You know he is probably checking out the cool places to take you in heaven. I was blessed to know him. RIP Cody, you are loved.
I'm sorry for your loss Amy, but we sure know that Cody is living the real life now, exactly like you said :) And I like Lisa's comment about him checking out cool places to take you in heaven!
I'm glad you're having such a positive look at it in the midst of everything.
You are one beautiful woman of God!! I love you, you will be in my thoughts and prayers! Love and thousands of hugs! /rut
Hi Amy,
We have never met you but our heart and sympathy is with you now. My wife and I served with Cody's DTS and were leaders with him on outreach to Fiji. He has always had a special place in our heart. In fact he even wanted us to name our firstborn daughter Abigail Boone.
Cody was truly an amazing man of God and we were so saddened to hear of his passing. We will definitely be there on Saturday to celebrate his life!
