In my heart…

“I will put my law in their minds

and write it on their hearts.

I will be their God,

and they will be my people.

Jeremiah 31:33b

"I will be their God" – those words always blow me away!

You're the 2nd Jeremiah posting person in our list… and I'm a "Jeremiah" in spiritual personality and focus, both loving and deadly serious. Am looking forward to meeting him when I am in his "Land". Love that particular verse.

I read these verses this morning as part of @stephanieweinert chapter a day challenge

It has been months since I have shared in this space. A lot of hard things have happened.

Tomorrow it will be four months since the sudden death of a close family member that was in his mid-fifties.

The grief is palpable. The loss is cavernous.

And life goes on.

And I remember that “he is my help and my shield.” And I will be thankful.

Jul 17

Peace comes when I let go of my troubles and worries.

Peace comes when I let go of my fear.

Peace comes when I stop thinking about the “what-if” and the “if only” and begin looking to the present.

When I hang on tightly to my worries and troubles, things can go south in a hurry.

It is only when I take my troubles to Him that I have peace.

It is then that I find contentment.

Peace comes when I say “thank you, Lord.”

It comes when I make more space for Him and less space for me.

And this happens when I cast my cares at His feet and leave them there.

If you haven’t listened to Give Me Your Peace by Gateway Worship, I suggest you give it a listen. You can hear a small clip in my story today.

#happyfriday friends. May your weekend be filled with peace and rest.

As the weeks have drug on it has been easy for me to lose hope.

Will things ever get back to some type of normal? People were not created to live in isolation.

Will we be able to see someone smile or will we always look at them and only see their eyes?

Will people gather without having to sit 6’ apart?

I don’t know the answer and I’m not posting this to debate the news media’s portrayal of the pandemic.

I’m sharing this today because I spent some time with the Lord thanking him for the things I DO have and not focusing on the things I don’t have. The things I have lost since March.

I looked up scriptures about hope.

I made a list in my prayer journal of things I’m grateful for.

Life goes on. Life crisis continues even during this pandemic. People die naturall and tragically. And babies are born. And weddings happen and new lives begin.

This crisis in our world isn’t a surprise to God.

And my hope and security is in Him.

If you scroll through the photos, you see things that made me smile this morning and reminded me of the goodness of God - even now.

Today marks 28 years since she was born.

With all the grief and sadness in the world I wasn’t sure how I would handle today. How I would allow myself to grieve this loss? Today when there has so much WRONG in our world.
In a post @deidrariggs shared today she reminded us that life goes on. And I realized that today this is my life. And I can grieve this loss. My life goes on... I am thankful for the 4 days we had her.
On Friday I will remember each event of her last day and I will remember her dying in my arms.

And I will be both sad and grateful.
