For many of us today was just a random Tuesday and we are just thankful it isn't Monday, but to a friend of mine today will be a day she never forgets. She will play each and every detail of this day over and over again in her mind but it will never make sense. Today is the day my friend lost her husband after an extremely short battle of an unbelieveable aggressive cancer. They only had a couple of weeks from the day of the diagnosis til today. This just hits home so hard because she is my age and they have an amazing little girl that is 2 weeks older than Noah. When you here of sorrow such as this you just want to run home and wrap your arms around your family and NEVER let go! I have no idea what is going through her mind and I am sure she is just numb right now. I know when I lost my grandpa (he was the only father I have ever known) i went through numerous emotions. The whole time he was ill there were certain songs I would play over and over just because they reminded me that my God is still my God even when I'm at my lowest and you want answers when there aren't any. While I was running today i was just praying for Jess and her family and i kept thinking "where is she getting her strength from"? and the words of this song came to mind. It is so easy to trust God when we are ontop of the world but when we are hurting sometimes it is just as easy to blame Him for our suffering. I can't say if I were in her position that I would be as strong with my faith and I am sure at some point I would question and possibly blame God but fortunately He never leaves our side. If you could please just take a moment and pray for my friend even if you don't know her and just lift her and her family up to God.

So sorry to hear of your loss. This is such an awesome song! It reminds you that no matter what happens in life that God has a plan for everyone and everything in your life. Even when you feel your lowest, He's always there for you.
ReplyDeleteYour friend, you and their families will be in my prayers. I didn't lose my husband, but I just lost my mom to cancer. I feel her pain and will try to absorb some of it throughmy prayers.
