Those wedding gifts are seriously the absolute last thing on my mind. When I wrote about them this morning, I was more or less whining and feeling sorry for myself because we never got to use any of them.
But thanks for the advice. I'll take into consideration a hundred years from now when I cross that bridge :)
I'm doing a little better tonight. Grief is like that. If you're a faithful reader, you'll get to experience the ups and downs with me.
I just read 2 things by Ravi Zacharias that made me say "hmmm".
"God has an appointment with each of us, and it is critical that every man and woman know this. He will stop our steps when it is not our time, and He will lead us when it is. This is a reassuring truth to know for every believer, and a necessary trust for anyone who ministers in areas of great risk."
"When God puts a broken life back together, He removes the scars because He builds from the inside out. And when God steadies a faltering life, He puts you on His footing."

My dearest Amy,
You whine as much as you want to honey...As someone put yesterday, cut yourself a little slack, it's only been about a month. I wish with all my heart that I could take away this pain and hurt...I know that God has a reason for everything, and that sometimes we have horrendous growing pains, but it just sucks sometimes doesn't it! I'm so proud of you...proud of the fact that you don't hide your heart dear one. Proud that I know you and am constantly amazed at the woman of God you are. I love you dearly...as you go thru all the stages of grief, know that you are normal, that you can feel sorry for yourself when you need to and whine as much as you need to! As I'm writing this, the song "Held" by Natalie Grant and the line that just played was "the promise was when everything fell, we'd be held". We're all holding you in our prayers...you are beloved my dear friend.
actually it's been 44 days!
Those are yummy quotes! Thanks for sharing them.
While in Cozumel the surf was high and the water was turquois blue and I thought of Cody every time I stared out into the water and longed to see him 'hanging ten.'
Everywhere is a reminder but God is also faithful to send those 'Rhema' words hidden in passages that you read or someone speaks that helps sustain you while you are surfing the waves of grief. Love to you during these challenges!
