5 months already..

Well, I can't believe it's been 5 mths today since Cody went to be with Jesus. In a way it seems like yesterday, yet at the same time it feels like 5 yrs since I last saw his sweet face.

I went to Morningstar this morning for a prophetic equipping conference and heard Bob Jones' wife share about grieving the death of her mother last year. And then she said something that grabbed my heart and made me smile. "Your loved one is kissing the face of Jesus." I miss Cody like crazy, but it brought me such hope and joy knowing that he is literally kissing the face of Jesus. What a beautiful picture.

The past 5 mths have been seasoned with the grace of God. I can feel Him near. Leading me forward, holding my hand, gently whispering and guiding me in a way that only He can. He is truly more than enough. My heart is so at rest in Him.

"Teach me to do Your will, for You are my God. May Your gracious Spirit lead me forward on a firm footing." Psalm 143:10

I was thinking the same thing that in some ways it feels like yesterday and in some ways a long, long time ago. That's the way grief is. My mom has been gone 16 months and every Saturday I still wait for my 9 a.m. phone call from her. She's gone but she isn't....I think of Cody daily--he's plastered every in my house so....I just do. I have regular little conversations with him--knowing he's loving the other side but missing him on this side! HUGS to you!
