Today it is 3 years. Today wasn't a bad day at all. Was only a bit sad and not for long periods.
God has moved me so much further since September. I am now at peace with the fact that his death is forever. It hurt when I thought while typing about the fact I won't see him again. But it is...
I have spent the last 5 fireworks nights (Nov 5th) watching with tears in my eyes. Putting on a brave face.
The first because he had cancer and things looked good, but still had a slight what if.
The second because I knew he had 9% chance of survival from cancer but couldn't tell him or...
At bible study today I ended up crying and explaining what place I am in with regards to grief. On the way home I realised that this coming up a lot just now might be a way to come to terms with it. The marbly strangulation feeling in my throat wasn't there and when I cried at home it wasn't...
I can't get it out of my head this week that it will be 3 years in december.
People around me don't know about how I feel. I wouldn't want to talk to anyone I know about it. I couldn't control the cancer, but I can control the grief. Meaning, I can choose to deal with it, or not, as much or...
I keep realising it will be 3 years in december since my partner died. I miss him and am worried about how I can accept that it will be 3 years.
The first year was all about learning to keep on through immense heart ache.
The second was a continuation of living and carrying it about with me...
John 15:12 My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. 13Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends
Jesus in my Hope! I thank God that He is my Hope, my refuge, my shelter. My God in whom I trust!
I thank Him for my salvation, the strength and courage He gives. I thank Him for His faithfulness, even when I'm not.
I thank Him for His mercy for forgiving me and His grace that I can seek...
Today! Used so often in the Bible. Often in Deuteronomy, Psalms, quoted in Hebrews. Whenever I hear/read it my heart flips. I have been trying to not be led on feelings, miracles so much but this word stops me in my tracks. Also 'this day' but I guess that might be differing translations...
Just saw this on facebook. Enjoyed watching it.
Says I still need sixty five characters before I can share. Should definitely be enough now
While contemplating how great the Lord is and how we are, an idea occurred to me that humans are like moths. Short lives, simple in comparison, not much intellect. Always seeing that hot lamp (sin, mistakes, foolishness) and keep going towards it, getting burnt only to do it over and over.
When...
Such a relaxing and clear reading of a great Psalm.
''2 Blessed are they who keep his statutes and seek him with all their heart."
"15 I meditate on your precepts and consider your ways.
16 I delight in your decrees; I will not neglect your word"
I love listening to these short explanations of the books in our Bible. They are worded in ways adults, children, new and seasoned Christians can understand; with useful background information too.
They also do themed expkanations such as Holiness (that was good), Heaven and Hell etc.
Had them today. Don't know how to feel atm. Fears were confirmed. Why bro?
The letter isn't that specific either. Feeling alone... not completely alone as I have God... but have no family within 100's miles now he's gone.
:/
Googling 'Eternal God' led me to this quote in a you tube video.
Isaiah 55:8-9
“For my thoughts are not your thoughts,
neither are your ways my ways,”
declares the Lord.
9 “As the heavens are higher than the earth,
so are my ways higher than your ways
and my thoughts than your...
These are ohrases made to conceal blasphemy and a lot are prevalent still in our culture today. Even though our society in general doesn't mind people taking the Lord's name in vain. Many, many Christians say some of these minced oaths, especially when shocked or grumbling.
I feel that...
Compassion for those not knowing where there children are, for those who lost relatives.
For my own brother. Think its 7 weeks today but not been counting. Thank the Lord I had him for 30 years. Wish I'd made more use out of the last few.
For my partner too, 18 months ago. My gran a year...
Ephesians 4:25
Therefore each of you must put off falsehood and speak truthfully to your neighbour, for we are all members of one body.
(My daughter and I studied different verses... she is doing Ephesians 4:29. I wrote down the wrong ones but didn't notice when she read hers to me Haha)...
If the fall hadn't happened, how would we appreciate good?
How would we appreciate the full extent of the Goodness of God?
Without pain how would we appreciate joy?
Without death aren't we in danger of taking life for granted?
Without flaws how would we appreciate perfection?
Without hunger...
Mine were:
Colours of day.
Abba father let me be yr and yrs alone.
All things bright and beautiful.
Seek ye first...
Autumn days..
Think of a world without any flowers.
Make me a channel of yr peace.
Sing Hosanna.
Shine Jesus Shine.
Lord of the dance. (Dance then wherever you may be...)

Was gardening and I thought of a song listening to a sermon about the consequenves of wavering faith. He mentioned the Israelites being scared of the walled cities and the people like giants.
Thought of a song I sang at school. Haven't thought of in 27 years. It wasn't even one I particularly...
