Yesterday, I found myself wondering why life is so full of good-byes. It stinks.
I am glad for the way good-byes lift my eyes heavenward, though. I find myself anticipating going home more and more, with every day I live here on earth. I long for heaven; for being with Him; for no more tears or sorrow; for ended pain and death; for complete peace and rest; for endless glory and awe.
And I am thankful that He has sent His Holy Spirit, as I cannot fathom walking through this life without Him.
Thank God for the Holy spirit yes he is our comforter.. God bless and amen to your post..
ReplyDeletePlease continue to pray. Feel free to call for an update anytime in the next couple days when it's a good time for you since I'm a total airhead and I have (again) lost your number. It's not that I write it down and then lose it. It's that I always think, "Hmm- it'll be on the caller ID for at least a few days so I'll just write it down another time." Then four days go by and it's not there anymore. OR- like last time- we received a record 32 calls in one day and that pretty much wiped yours off from the previous day. And- as you can imagine...a dozen of those calls were from her. So please pray.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your response to my 'grandparenting' question. Your memories are wonderful, and all the comments I got are getting my brain thinking of ways to incorporate these ideas with our own personalities and goals. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteSo good and so true. I feel the same way. Lately I have been unsure of what is going on with my body. I ache all over but I know it is not the flu. So I pray God would help me to figure out what is going on. So I think I may just ask on here. I have been breast feeding since I had Hayla in September and the first time I got my period after having her was in January. It was January into February and then March into March. Now I was supposed to get it again and I counted and I am 39 days in between. Well the date I was supposed to have gotten it was April 17th. I didn't get it then so I waited a couple days and took a test, it was negative. Then I waited again a couple days and again negative. Now it is day 15 and I still have not gotten it. So I am wondering has this ever happened to you? And also could it go away again because your breastfeeding? I thought that maybe after I got my period that it would stay but maybe I am wrong and maybe it is breatfeeding. But I have signs that could mean I am pregnant. So if you can help or anyone else could help...GREAT. I was only asking you because you went through this three times. I am not sure what to expect still. I just don't want to waste another test! So expensive.

God led me to your post today. I said goodbye again to another friend going home for the summer and soon felt a feeling of loneliness. I tried to distract myself so it wouldn't hurt so bad but the feeling lingered until I picked up my computer and found your website for the first time. God totally spoke to me through your post. He said that these goodbyes on earth are temperal and He reminded me that He never says goodbye to us. Even when we turn our back to Him; He is still here and promised never to leave us. We may have to say goodbye many times through our lifetime and yes, it will hurt. But when we go to heaven, there will be no more goodbyes. I'm so happy our real home is in heaven with Him!
ReplyDeleteThanks Brietta for everything! I love you guys and I'm sad to say goodbye. Thank the Lord it's not forever
