The Firsts

Well, we made it through Christmas! It was hard! All the "firsts" after loosing someone are always hard but God has certainly blessed us in these hard times. My brother preached on Sun. and his sermon was "God's Grace is Enough for Me" and I have to agree. This tragedy in our life has brought back so many old feelings that I experienced when my mother was killed and you know I didn't understand anything when my mom passed but now as I look back on all the chaos
and confusion I was experiencing then and now having to walk thru it again I can see that God has been there carrying me thru all of it. Even though it may hurt like everything sometimes, I have to say God's Grace is Enough for Me!!!!!!!

Truth!

Well, all I have to say is we sometimes have to walk through difficult times and we don't understand why we have to go through them, but God says he will never put more on us than we can handle and although we might feel like dying God is there to comfort and guide us through. This last week we lost my husbands mom of 42 yrs of age. It has been an incredibly devastating time. A loss of a wife, mom, sister, aunt, and Nana. Although we are grateful for the time we were able to share with her we will miss her SO much. If it has taught me anything it's that we are not guaranteed tomorrow. I have lost my mother and now my mother in-law and it has taken loosing to very special people in my life for me to realize the full extent of this. I recommend that you live your life like it will be your last. Love those who are close to you like you will never have the chance to again, do the work God has called you to do like you will never have another opportunity, and be ready at any minute to meet the who gave you life (ALMIGHTY AWESOME GOD)!
