Hello my friends...The news that my mom had passed came early this morning, her last moments were peaceful, in her sleep. I tried to comfort my dad, explaining, that even though she went to sleep on earth and she awoke up in the arms of Jesus, fully restored, whole and full of joy. This is what I must believe also... Please pray for him, he is snowed in and getting people to the house to take care of her - well things are difficult on the mountain road. He has all the details in place, the preparations ready - they just need to get to the house. I will not be returning to Oregon for the memorial. I am thankful for the understanding my family has given to me, knowing the time I spent with her in October was healing for her soul... God brought an army of Christian soldiers, after me to share the Gospel, the Truth and the Love of Christ. Somewhere in the last few months, for her and my step-dad, the prayer was spoken, the door unlocked and I truly believe she is home with Jesus - this gives me peace. My aunt called today and confirmed this to be true! Makes me want to shout~ Hallaluah!!!!!!!!! God has been at work on my heart as well, preparing for this day. I have spent so much of my grief already, in prayer, grieving for her lost soul to be redeemed. It is not the kind of 'sudden news' grief, where the unexpected shock brings forth the emotions with a tsunami of tears, pain and unanswered questions... I have felt this kind of grief, when my best friend was killed in an accident when I was 19, or when I heard the news of my brother being convicted, found guilty of a horrible crime. That kind of grief, hits like a baseball bat against the bones, it aches deep within. This grief is different. It is more of a lingering process, through which soft almost rythmic waves of mourning have come upon me, as the reality of what was coming became clearer each day. I have found myself in the depths of sadness for what we never got to do, the time lost... memories from the past have swept over me these past few months... ones that had been lost. Pieces of who I was. I am thankful for reconciliation - that God loved me enough to give it to my mom and I, just in time... In Peace, Melody Leave a Comment { Last Page } { Page 11 of 139 } { Next Page } |
