The days are so speeding by! But, I’ve probably been saying this for years1 There are times when life seems to be nicely breezing by, then comes suddenlies! Sometimes those suddenlies are wonderful and then there are those times when they hit hard and I think “What happened?!”
I so enjoy writing, but in the last few years it has been difficult, but my amazing God has slowly been stirring and downloading me to move ahead! A healing process that I didn’t even realize I needed! I think I was kind of in a God’s auto pilot mode…He covered me, had me moving forward, totally covering me and leading me in all kinds of exciting adventures in the midst of life’s storms!
About 5 years ago, the Lord gave me Proverb 3:5 “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, don’t lean on your own understanding, in all ways, acknowledge Him and He will direct your steps”! That scripture kept coming up and I couldn’t get past it, with the things that started unfolding, I knew why…Those words kept me as my mom on Jan 5th, on her birthday, went suddenly, while my husband, Ted was in the emergency room, I had to make plans to fly to Colorado Springs, pick up my dad, diagnosed with dementia and parkinsons, close down the house, pick up the two dogs to add to my 2 in the middle of winter when flights were shut down, delayed and major chaos at the airport not to mention in my own home! But, God’s word carried me to trust in Him, not my own understanding, saw miracles unfold! Flights were opened up to me and my steps were perfectly directed. Little did I know, that started a journey of more suddenlies to come… More losses, my husband Ted passed on Oct 13th, then my dad on Dec 21st, even my dog, Mochi of 13 years got out the gate to not be found. As I chronicle these suddenlies, they seem a bit surreal, but I did feel led to share a bit of my heart with my readers-I so appreciate you all! Thank you for your faithfulness and support!
I share this transparency because on my journey of loss, I’ve met so many people that have suffered loss and are real superheroes of God! As we meet, there’s a knowing in the spirit that we have walked through the valley of the shadow of death and I mean THROUGH, Psalm 23 comes so alive, and there’s an instant connecting, of How amazing Our God is that He brings us through ALL! He will never leave us, he is always with us, He carries us, it’s His strength, His joy, His love that permeates our very being! That’s how we know that God is real, a relationship sooo deep, that it’s supernatural! He’s a supernatural God that lives in and with us in our natural daily lives!! And that we are not alone!! That is something to meditate on forever!! Such mysteries that are beyond our own understanding!
During this journey of loss, God gave me a dance, a song and an exciting different season filled with wonderful suddenlies that continue to amaze me! I have remarried to a wonderful man who God orchestrated through a chain of events that no doubt it was of God! I will be sharing more of these as the days seem to be so speeding by.
I definitely wanted to highlight the song He gave me, “I sing a new song, for it’s a new day, for a new way, God’s way!”
So sing your new song, this new day and know that it’s always God’s way! You will never fail as you stay deep Him, He will never fail you!!!
Love & Blessings,
