Reflecting on blessings…

Pin It   Sometimes life is just hard.  Your picket white fence fairytale turns to past due bills, unforeseen health diagnosis’s and constant tension in your home.  It just happens.  Life… happens.  Sometimes it’s a blink of an eye, and other times it’s a slow fade that step by step distracts you from the path…

    The Lord brought me back to this message again today to remind me that I am truly blessed because He first loved me and gave himself for me. Thank you for sharing your heart and responding in such a beautiful way.

Grief | Sarah Rachel

Pin It I don’t want to write what I am about to write. Although God has been telling me to deal with this for months, I have been resisting doing so. It hurts to think about it. The fact is…I miss my Mom. I don’t mean oh, I miss her in a nonchalant way. I…

    Brave, obedient, beautiful Sarah…God is WITH you and IN you…I know this because you wrote this and you couldn’t have done so without him. Even now, as you wonder where and how and when and if, he is there…and my prayer is that he would reveal himself to you in new, unexpected and amazing ways in these moments when you need it most. I love you girl!

    I love that you wrote this. All of what I feel are now in words except, I was very angry at God for having taken away my Mom, not because He was having me feel the grief I felt. I lost my Mom 5yrs ago to Lupus, she was only 53yrs old. She died the very same day my husband left on a 6mo. deployment. I felt beyond angry but held myself together for my Dad and Brother. After we spread her ashes in the oceans of O’ahu, I slowly broke down, just me and drinking. When I finally hit rock bottom, I started to heal. I’m not where I want to be just yet, but I’m glad I’m not where I was. We will pray for eachother, deal? :)

    I will pray for you. I lost my mom 3 years ago and I also feel lost and I am angry with God as well. I feel cheated out of a mom and my children out of their Bah Bah (Grandma). I treasure every memory I have and hold onto it tight but, I would anything to have my mom back and cancer free. So my thoughts, prayers, and all are coming your way.

  13. Jolene Cudjoe on said:

    My heart goes out to you Sarah! I went through a similar loss about 10 years ago when I lost my sister, and had many regrets. The pain never goes away, though it does lessen as the years pass. I can only imagine how hard this has been for you to open up and share your raw pain and open wounds, but we’re all with you, thinking of you and praying for healing for you. If you ever need to talk, just drop me a line.

Tri-State Group – Cape May Adventures

Pin It Small Group Testimony by Tammy Willis Morin I can’t go in. Maybe I should have stayed home. I will be the oldest and most inexperienced. Who do I think I am coming here? These thoughts and many more swirled in my mind as I walked up the street and approached the house. I gingerly…

Worth it

It’s been one of those weekends…. one of those weekends where I don’t even remember how I got dressed in the morning, if I really remembered to brush my teeth and if the puppy got fed.  Our oldest child turned seven on Friday and it was the planned out party of the year.  The one…
