I had a different post in mind for today. Yet, this one seemed to say more of my thoughts today. Remembering. The journey after losing your mom is quite the dance. It is deep breaths and sunny days. It is prayer and remembering. It is bitter tears and missing. It is all these things. Miss you Mom. Here is a re-post from May 7, 2016. Dear Mom, So many times I have picked up the phone to call. My heart hurts missing Elijah. Yet you reign with him on high. It was April vacation. I missed our time together. It was always so much warmer at your house. Such a perfect time to ... View Post
More Waiting
She too waits. This sister in law of mine. Sister of my farmer. Who walks the road of grief. It's been six months since she stood at the grave. She waits now for biopsy results. Abnormal normal cells; growth on her thyroid. We are guaranteed nothing in this world. Only God's love. It's the constant. It's truth. There is cancer. In her thyroid. And it feels for a moment that the earth has shifted. Tilted. She tells me a funny joke before she tells me the results of the tests. Much like ... View Post
I Will Trust You, Part II, Even in the Desert
The Israelites were asked to trust. To trust God to take them out of a land. To bring them to a land flowing with milk and honey. The problem was. . . They needed to go through the desert first. The barren, harsh, desert. For forty years they wandered. Forty years they waited to see the land promised. For most of those who left Egypt, they never lived to see the Promise. Are you in a desert place? During these desert times, God is ever present. As the Israelite's traveled they were hemmed in by fire and ... View Post
Despair is but a Step Away Day #19 of Thankfulness
Two years ago; this was our walk. We are still clinging to that same hope two years later. Rejoicing in cancer being at bay. Learning to live with our precious red head residing with the King of Kings. Remembering God is good. . . all the time. Though despair, at times is only a step away. God offers hope that is so much greater. ------------------------------------------------------------- November 19, 2013 To Despair is to Turn Your Back on God Day #19 of Thankfulness To despair is to turn your back on God. ...

Through the Ages Day #7 of Thankfulness
It's my friends birthday today. One I see about twice a year. Lately one of those times each year has been a wake or funeral. She came to our wedding. She came to Elijah's funeral. I have known her since I was three. There were three of us. Always together. She is so faithful in writing and sending cards. My dad nick named her when we were little. He loved her curls and quiet ways. So different from his little girl. We used to play every day as kids. We celebrated birthdays each year. She ... View Post
A re- working of All In The Same Moment
We had been in Maine. We came home. It was so quiet. No white tornado puppy to great us. I had been thinking about our home going and what it would be like. How quickly my son would experience that journey. Each step of every day draws me closer to the anniversary of the day. We attended a Birthday for a sweet family friend. We sang Happy Birthday and she opened her presents. On the TV ran photos of my children when they were little. Pictures of Elijah. His blue eyes ... View Post
