I’ve decided to start bloggin! LOL I don’t know that I have much to say but sometimes thoughts come through my head and I forget to write them down so here goes…
Joshua 3:5
Joshua told the people, “Consecrate yourselves, for tomorrow the LORD will do amazing things among you.”
I’m sitting in bed right now, my sister Shelby’s bed in Georgia, next to the man of my dreams, my husband, and I am fully aware that I am the luckiest girl in the world. I have an amazing God, great family, and a job I love. Still as I sit here this weekend and watch milestones take place, my sister graduating from high school, I am saddened that my dad isn’t here to see it.
My beautiful sister that is now a high school grad!!
I walk around this house and wait for him to walk through the door. Why is that you can know someone is gone and that they are in a better place but yet it’s all so bitter sweet. I have days where I am so greatful that God took him before he got any worse and then I have days where all I want to do is mourn his passing. I know that God has a plan and this is all part of it but my heart breaks for my little sisters and my stepmom that are having to create a new “normal” with him gone. My dad and I were never extremely close but I do know that he cherrished us, his 3 daughters and his wife, in his own way, and I know that he would have been so proud of Shelby and Alison and all that they are doing. Shelby has the sweetest spirit and Alison has the biggest heart. I am so humbled by how they are growing into such mature, god-honoring women, and I am so thankful that I was blessed to have been made their sister! God is so Faithful and his mercies are evident to me in their faces every day. My prayer is that they know their worth and they find their signifigance in Christ alone.
