Praise Him in the Dance

Sadness,and yet Joy!

Hey everybody, I'm going to make this short because we have a lot going on. I thought I better let everybody know however, because I probably won't be able to get back on for awhile. Well, long story short my Papa( my mom's dad) passed away on the 14th. We are down in Florida now. I'm using my cousins computer. Also, my adopted Papa( Mr. JC) passed away on the 13th!!! I'm having a really hard time taking it all in. I never new sorrow could feel so bad. I thought I would be okay, but then I started thinking about all the things they would miss in my life, and my brothers and sisters lives. Our weddings, our children, our Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners without them there...... I can't even begin to explain how bad it hurts. All I can say is that it hurts. I want it to go away. But when I think about that statement,( I want it to go away) I always think about what my papa's use to say.... "All in time, baby, all in time"!! I know I have to let them go, its just that I don't want to except the hard truth of..... how much I'm going to miss them!! However, I did get to go on a mission trip to ST. Louise Missourri!!(spelling?) I had close to the best time of my life!!!I got to work with kids, adults, and elderly people, God lead two people to Christ through me and I got to dress up like a 80s chick!!LOL!!! All in All it was a great wk!! One I will never forget. Well, better go. I have a lot of stuff to do before the funeral. PLEASE PRAY!! The way my mom's face looked the night she told me has yet to escape my mind!!

Gods Always Faithful,

Mandi

I'm very sorry to hear about your loss. My grandpa passed away a few years ago and I know how hard it is. It kinda seems like they will show up any second, but you know in your heart that they won't. Anyway, I'm glad you had a good mission trip, and I will say a prayer for you.
Love,
