God bless all of you for coming here from all over the world to honor and celebrate my Charlie, just a few miles from here.

Past simple

Two years ago at America Fest 2023, Charlie delivered a speech on stage for our TPUSA faith event.

So I personally didn't know what he was going to say.

And what he chose to speak about that day was his submission to the will of God.

He quoted one of his favorite Bible verses.

After Charlie finished, I met him backstage and I spoke to him.

I said, charlie, baby, please talk to me next time before you say that statement.

Because when you say something like that, there is so much power in that verse when you say, here I am, Lord, use me.

Eleven days ago, God accepted that total surrender from my husband and then called him to his side.

More than anything, Charlie wanted to do not his will, but God's will.

And over these past 11 days, through all the pain, never before have I found as much comfort as I now do in the words of our Lord's prayer, thy will be done.

God's love was revealed to me on the very day my husband was murdered.

On the afternoon of September 10, I arrived at a Utah hospital to do the unthinkable, to look directly at my husband's murdered body.

I felt everything you would expect to feel.

I felt horror and a level of heartache that I didn't even know existed.

Even in death, I could see the man that I love.

I saw the one single gray hair on the side of his head, which I never told him about.

Telling you now, but never told him, but didn't want to.

I also saw on his lips the faintest smile.

It revealed to me a great mercy from God in this tragedy.

When I saw that, it told me Charlie didn't suffer.

Even the doctor told me it was something so instant that even.

Even if Charlie had been shot in the operating room itself, nothing could have been done.

One moment, Charlie was doing what he loved.

Arguing and debating on campus, fighting for the gospel and truth in front of a big crowd.

He blinked and saw his savior in paradise.

And all the heavenly Mysteries were revealed to him.

God's love continued to be revealed to me in the days that followed.

The next day, on the tarmac in Air Force Two, I confronted Usha Vance.

I held her hand and I told her, honestly, I do not know how I am going to get through this.

She said, you know when you're on an airplane with your kids and it's the last 15 minutes of the flight, things are crazy.

Kids are not cooperating, toys are flying everywhere, and everyone's screaming.

And you think to yourself, I cannot wait for this flight to land, and

And she told me, you will get through these 15 minutes and the next 15 minutes after that.

Usha, I don't think you realized it then, but those words were exactly what I needed to hear.

But most of all, God's mercy and God's love have been revealed to me these past 10 days after Charlie's assassination.

Instead, we saw what my husband always prayed he would see in this country.

We saw people open a Bible for the first time in a decade.

We saw people pray for the first time since they were children.

We saw people go to a church service for the first time in their entire lives.

I say this because he did it to remember important moments and sayings that affected him.

And one of the things he wrote in his journal was every time you make a decision, it puts a mark on your soul.

To those of you out there who just made that decision and took the first step toward a spiritual life, I say thank you and welcome.

One day, I hope you look back and realize it was the most important decision of your life.

Because it is all of you, all of you who are already believers, it is your job to shepherd these people.

Every day as Charlie rode into the office, he would go through his contact list.

And I know there's many of you who were impacted by this.

He would go through his contact list and send Bible verses for the day.

The enemy will tempt you the most in a time like this one.

But you must choose to mark your soul again and again in the direction of Christ.

Go to church next Sunday and the Sunday after that, and

break free from the temptations and shackles of this world.

Jesus said, if anyone would come after me, let him deny himself, take up his cross and follow me.

And Charlie knew that and happily carried his cross all the way to the end.

And I want all of you to know, while Charlie died far too early, he was also ready to die.

There was nothing, nothing he was putting off.

There was nothing that was too hard or too painful or nothing that he just felt like he didn't want to do it.
