Nancy Grandquist was an amazing singer. She loved her family. She was larger than life. She sparkled. She was unashamed. I can go on and on describing who she was. I listened to her music as I cleaned the house, cooked dinner and prepared my lesson plans for my students. I kept thinking over and over through my tears, what a legacy she has left behind. She loved so deeply. She was all over the place and traveled all over the world. She reached as many people as she could in any way she could. Nancy was timeless. Glamorous. Elegant. Wild. Calm. Funny. Humble. Honest. Pure. Chef. Mother. Wife. Friend. Unashamed. That word stands out to me the most. Unashamed. She didn't do what she did for the approval of an audience. She did it because she knew her God. She did it because she loved her God. She did it because she knew who she was. She lived out loud and unashamed.

Vickie Davis was born January 6th, 1954. She passed away from this life on December 16th, 2022. She left behind a beautiful legacy. She was First Lady of Bethel United Pentecostal Church in Old Westbury, NY. Wife of her beloved Doug Davis. Devoted sister to her siblings by birth or marriage. Loved deeply her nieces and nephews. She was a faithful friend to many. A classy lady in everything she did, even when she was painting the walls, changing a lightbulb or getting on her knees to clean out a cobweb in the corner. She loved the church. She loved the saints. She loved her husband. She loved her family. We all loved her in return. To her a church building project meant progress. She loved souls and a bigger building meant room for more to come to the love of Christ. She had a wonderful sense of humor. Her smile lit up the room and warmed your heart. Her hugs made you feel like everything was going to be just fine. She loved to worship her Savior. Without fail, no matter what...
Ever felt like you were going against the tide? If you have never been to the ocean, you may not fully understand what that means. You push forward even when everything is pushing back against you, and you start to lose your footing by the shifting of the sands underneath you. It's not easy going against the tide. It can cause you to want to give up at times. I want to encourage you, if you are being led or called to move forward in a direction and everything seems to be going wrong, keep moving forward. God will show up when the time is right and all of a sudden it will be a smooth walk on the water. God is good.
