So this week is my week for the blog and I think I might cheat a little. About a month ago my aunt, who loved the Lord, passed away at the young age of 51. As my Uncle and their 3 sons (19, 22, 25) are dealing with their loss my Uncle has began to chronicle his thoughts, emotions, and what God has been teaching him through all of this. So this week you will be getting to read some of these and trust me its way better then what I would write.

Day five- able to go to Connie's school and see her fellow teachers, students and classroom. Major time of healing. Well done phx Christian. The prayers of the saints are world wide and I am being lifted up like wings on eagles above the circumstance of losing my soulmate. God is showing me big picture stuff. I am seeing how He has prepared my family and I for this without knowing it. I can see how He has orchestrated what is going on. He has taken why completely out of my vocabulary and put in wow.

Pete Jacobson gave our family Isa57:1 and it has helped us. We tend to think why is a righteous person who is doing so good and so much taken like this. We don't consider that this thing happened to protect her from evil. This is big picture stuff. So I say wow who am I? Please don't get me wrong I am weeping and grieving. I can't make it through a song in worship. I can't read a page of a book and concentrate but it is not why only wow. Thanks for your prayers we need them. They are giving us peace beyond understanding. They are sustaining us with comfort.

Often we have heard Skip say in the context of Salvation that we should be saying "wow, why me " but to say wow while 5 days into losing your spouse is as someone else put it "God's grace like Job"
