Omegaman Passed Away on December 12, 2022

[1to3]

 Just saw the notice: So sorry to hear this.

My sincere condolences to Omegamans family.

Praise God Omegaman loved the Lord Christ Jesus.

Absent from the body, present with the Lord.

2 Corinthians 5:8

“We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.

It is hard to imagine worthy without omegaman, for nearly twenty years he was a constant in this place.  I will miss his wise council and friendship, especially his quick wit and humility.  My heart goes out to his daughters and family in this time of personal sorrow, as well as all those close to him.  While I am selfishly filled with grief, I can't help but rejoice for his gain and look forward to the day when I see him again.  Gonna miss you until then brother.

Words have returned now, so I'll share how our brother inspired me while I've been here on Worthy. 

Omegaman's sense of humor was delightful to engage with. Who else would know that oyster custard is actually a thing? I threw that out there without realizing that there is such a thing! When I shared how I enjoy blazing hot chiles on the forum, I was not expecting our brother to respond in kind; he relished them just as much as I do. 

His gentleness and restraint were a godly exhortation for me to walk in the same, remembering that none of us are perfect while we sojourn on this earth. His kindness remains with me and always will.

There's nothing wrong with grieving the passing of one beloved by the Lord. Don't feel ashamed because I've been through this more than once. We remember them, we miss them, and there's no shame in this. None at all. 

Like you all, I'm so glad that Omegaman's suffering in this world is finished. We will see him again one day.

It always ticked off Omega when I told him I am pan-trib, that it will all pan out in the end.  Hey, when we have the Lord with us, all things work together for good.  He gives us grace in time of need and not before.  Our God is so good.  It is a matter of trusting Him.  Omega just couldn't understand my faith and thought I was being flip.  It is the only thing I can remember him getting angry about.  Now maybe he understands, now that he is with Jesus.

Omega was a great teacher and the Holy Spirit used him on many occasions to open my eyes to the truth.   I can't imagine Worthy without him, or life without him.  I hope he will have a great reunion with Fresno Joe, Nigel and so many others that have helped to shape Worthy.  

It is a reminder that we all need to treasure each other here.

Since I was diagnosed with CHF around the time that he was I understood some of what he was enduring and on many occasions prayed intensely for his relief.  Relief came, but not in the way I selfishly had hoped.

Its hard to convey, what I have experienced since news of Om passing over, but I will try. This is to point to the Lord's amazing Grace and Love and what He did for us.

Many times over the recent months, the Lord woke me up in the middle of the night to pray for him. I suppose because we had grown somewhat close. Anyway--he has been much on my mind and got my wife praying for him also.

Anyway, I found myself thinking about him finishing his race and being with the Lord and rejoicing all the more in a very real way, for all that the Lord has for OM. The Lord used this to make Himself more real to me and my heart rejoices in that and for OM.

Clear as mud--but a very real thing. He purchased OM at great cost and somehow, it is as thought OM and I are rejoicing together.

Like the movie its a wonderful life, omegaman impacted so many lives in ways most of us never saw. I wonder if he realized the difference he made in the lives of people here.

Sorry about your illness also, @Willa. So what is CHF ? (pardon my ignorance...)

It’s hard to imagine worthy without Omie. He and @ayin jade were my midnight chat buddies for a very long time. He was always up to battle our differing views on the rapture. He became a close brother that I confided in many times, giving Godly advice when I wanted it and even when I didn’t. When I thought of Worthy he always came to mind. A couple years ago he started a painting for me and just this summer I received it, I’ll always cherish it. I’ve attached it but blurred his name for his privacy

I hope he did.  He impacted my life so very much.  

(And you have impacted my life too..  thank you!)

I just wish I had let him know better how much I appreciated everything he did for me.. for his advice and his kindness.. for his listening ears..  for always being there for me if / when i needed his help..

For being my friend.  For truly caring.

 

I miss him.
