"I wanna give (him) the world, hold (his) hand. I wanna be (his) momma just as long as I can. And live every moment until that day comes. I want to show (him) what it means to be loved."--What it means to be loved-song by Mark Schultz

Jan 4th, 2010- This too shall pass




The weather is bitter cold—negative and freezing wind chills.  It’s times like these I wonder why I live in this state.  Brad tells me it makes me appreciate spring and summer all the more.....true…although I wish it were summer all the time but that is not how it’s meant to be.  I am grateful God does not take us from 50’s to -20’s in a day—it’s a gradual release.  This is similar to my grief. God is slowly releasing it a little at a time….helping me acclimate as I go.  To be honest, I’m not responding at ALL in the way I thought I would.  I am okay—I realize much of this is the “numbness” stage of grief- but to God be the glory….It is HE that is carrying me. It is he that helps me get through the day.  Never will I leave you or forsake you.   I felt as if he was reminding me this morning—I go before you, I am with you.  So here we are walking in our winter—it’s hard, it’s uncomfortable, it’s not pleasant, we want to skip over all of it, but a spring is coming….For this too shall pass.
