SCOTT NEWSOM
May 29, 1993 - March 6, 2013
When Scott was at Bodenseehof Bible School in December, 2011, he wrote this prayer: "Teach me to love You more . . . Let me love and accept and appreciate everything about You . . . Be the centre. Be the focus of everything I say and do and see. Open my eyes so that I can see where You are: everywhere. Let me see You in the places I go. Let me feel You in the awkwardness of moments that happen every day. Make me a channel of You. Take the things that hold me back, and let Your glory shine so that their shadows are just specks of dust on the floor. So be it." A favourite verse of Scott's was Isaiah 26:3-4: "You will keep in perfect peace all who trust in You, all whose thoughts are fixed on You! Trust in the Lord always, for the Lord God is the eternal Rock". Scott, we who know you love you and miss you and treasure our memories of you. Mum, Dad, Paul, Dave, Judith, Cora and Edmund look forward to your hugs in Heaven.
