This is Not Your Home

Hi everyone! I feel I owe an apology for abandoning the blog for the last six weeks. The truth is...I just needed a break. It was so wonderful working on the blog every day for a month - but it was emotionally draining and after the 10th I had to step away.

I'm not really sure what the future holds for this blog, but I have a feeling the Lord has a plan and I'll just trust in that process. Every day people have still been coming here. I don't know who you are, but I'm glad there is a purpose.

Today I wanted to create something for you - it's a song that's been important to me over the last year. The title is This is Not Your Home by Hilary Weeks. I love this song because it gives me permission to grieve - to cry, to feel the pain, to beg for help. But it also teaches me that I cannot stay in that state for too long. I must remember my sorrows are a part of God's wonderful plan and I must keep perspective.

As much as I hate what happened last year - I have something to learn. I had a lot of tears and that's o.k. Things are getting easier and that is also o.k. I have been blessed with beautiful reminders of David's life. I have a strong testimony that he still lives and is close to us daily.

Heartache, Sorrow, Pain,. .
Now I must dry eyes
Wipe my cheeks
Reclaim my heart
Piece by piece by piece
'cause I need to breath again
I have to let the sunlight in
God didn't make my soul to be your home
No, this is not your home.

One Day Closer

  I just saw this quote and it made me think of my uncle David. Hope it makes you smile.
