Okay, I can't get my brain to work this morning, but I can't let this day go by without a post.
A year ago today my mom died.
The past year has been horrible, and as much as I hate it, I am having to let myself grieve.
My momma's death was one of the most important days in her life. She is now in heaven, with Jesus, for eternity. My brain can't comprehend eternity, but I am still very much comforted by that. I am also comforted that I will see her again.
I know that I am still on earth to glorify God. Some days that is hard because of the grief (see above) but I am trying. I am a work in progress.
Where will you be in your walk with the Lord when something bad happens, something bad enough to shatter you faith?
What is your concept of God? Buddy, our pastor, always says, "The most important thing about you is your concept of God."
I know that God's timing is perfect. I am thankful for a God that gives and takes away. I am thankful for a God that was and is and will be forever-regardless of me. I am also thankful that He gave me such a wonderful momma for twenty-three years. I am thankful that His love and grace and forgiveness are for everyone.
Whew, a very scattered post, but I had to get some of that out of my head.

Amanda,
I am praying for you. I just want you to know that you are definately a blessing and I appreciate your honest heart. I know how hard it is to say that you are thankful for a God that gives and takes away. I always need some help with that. Just hold on tight to God. Love you.
