So the plan was to take a short break, I never imagined to take THIS long – I mean it’s been years!
As you can imagine, A LOT has happened. I have been blessed with a beautiful baby girl – well, she’s 2 now and keeping me incredibly busy. I have celebrated the wedding of my twin brother, birth of a nephew and many many other joyful moments.
I have also experienced loss, great loss and challenging moments like the passing of my grandmother and father – yet in ALL things the creator remain faithful.
O how I miss sharing His word to the world! I hope to continue to share as I receive.
“I’m sat here in tears, pain, and sorrow yet I’m singing, “Is there anything too hard for you?!” – that’s because I truly believe there is nothing too hard for you Lord……………………”.
I said the above prayer after a difficult evening.
You see, since the loss of my father 2 months ago, to say things have been challenging is an understatement. His death was so sudden and unexpected. The night before he passed, my parents had a good laugh as always for over 4 hours. Morning came and we received a phone call that dad had died. “How can this be?”, I asked my husband with tears in my eyes.
The weeks leading to this moment have been a roller-coaster but God, my heavenly father, did not forsake us; we are being comforted by Him daily.
Honestly, I’ve felt all sort of emotions; both healthy and unhealthy ones but tonight I heard Him say in my spirit, “Grieve in my presence – it’s okay”.
I feel now more than ever that He understands (Isaiah 40:28), that He knows my sorrow (Psalms 56:8), that He alone can fill that sudden void (Romans 5:5) and He alone can wipe away my tears (Revelation 21:4).
So, I dare not let go of Him. I don’t expect to feel perfect in a heart-beat but how refreshing is it to know that even in my tears and sorrow, I am welcome to grieve in His presence?!
If you’re grieving like I am right now, be it the loss of a relative, job, relationship etc, make sure it’s done in His presence. It’s a temporary season; this too shall surely pass. You may feel like it’s a never-ending one but I assure you, it isn’t. Allow yourself to grieve as the Lord leads you.
And don’t forget that when you draw near, He’ll draw nearer.
Psalms 34:18
“The Lord is close to the broken hearted; He rescues those whose spirits are crushed…..”.
I’m always praying for you.
Blessings,
LadyEuny.
