HOW WOULD I CHANGE MY LIFE, IF I COULD?…

How would I change my life? Not much, but there are a few things I would have done differently. I can't have a redo, so I just have to trust that God was working out the important things He needed to have done in my life and that of our different churches. #Godsgoodpurposes

On background of medium teal is large photo of large hand reaching down to small hand reaching up. Cross in the middle that symbolizes Jesus' advocating for our sin before the Father. This is the overall thesme of the series. The smaller photo is of a couple jogging. It is similar to what we were doing during this period as we actively waited. We had to live our lives, care for our children, make a living, feed our family while waiting for a job to come through for Ron. We couldn't just sit and wait for it all to come to us. He had to apply for jobs, talk on the phone in job interviews, and even travel to churches for in-person interviews.

TESTIMONY OF GOD’S GRACE: LEARNING TO GRIEVE…

The death of my father taught me how to grieve. It was different from what I thought. It was not constant. It came, went & was messy. #grief

May 23, 2024

Medium teal background has photo at the top with overall theme of large hand representing God's hand reaching down to a human hand trying to reach up to His, with a cross in between making up for the huge gap. Photo on the bottom right refers to this week's theme of learning to grieve. It is a woman with a tissue over her nose. It is not that you are trying all the time you grieve. But that is part of it. Grieving includes tears. It also includes laughter and happy memories of the person. It includes grieving a huge loss that you will no longer see them on this earth.
