GRIEF ... changes us FOREVER

There are NO words.
Grief ... it changes us.  Forever changed.

And I know in my aching and hurts and tears .... another aches MORE, hurts MORE and cries incredibly MORE!!

So ... what to do?
          ~ I cling (even cherish) in what the Bible says, "God hears our moans and groans."

I moan and groan and ask God to do ONLY WHAT HE ALONE CAN DO.

Romans 8:26-27 New International Version (NIV)

       "26 In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans. 27 And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for God’s people in accordance with the will of God."

I pray ... and will continue to pray.
I don't understand and nor do I plan to understand it .... I will pray.

Grief changes us.  F O R E V E R .....

your friend, Michelle

Seasonal as in a season ..

Well ... another chapter is about to end! She is graduating Kindergarten on Friday. That means she is the Class of 2030! You read that right ... 20 30!!  Let’s reflect, ever graduate? From any where? Kindergarten, high school, college or grad school? What a feeling ... YOU accomplished tasks, disciplines, work and probably more work!!! Congratulations.... it’s good to look back in order to move forward. New friends, new teachers, new books - all in good time, I promise.

She’s grown: physically (4 feet tall), mentally (reading), spiritually (everything was made by God and for God), & socially (you wouldn’t believe the calendar!).  And, this is how I set my summer time goals for her physical, mental, spiritual, and social. Luke 2:52 says “and Jesus grew in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man.“ Grow grow grow!

Another season ....
