He Came Unto Me
Jesus is my Wonderful Counselor and Mighty God. He is an Everlasting Father to me and to my children. He is the Prince of Peace. Because of these things, I know that He is good, and I can trust His government & direction for my steps. (Isaiah 9:6). I am so very thankful that Jesus came unto me, that He came Unto Us.

One More
Grief has given me an acute awareness of the brevity of earthly life. Because of that knowledge, I try to treasure each moment and each relationship just a little more. The dark side of this reality is that I also face daily this feeling of dread, that the ones I love are not safe from death.

I am not enough
I am NOT enough. I can't "do it all." I long to be able to do and be all the things. But I can't, and the truth is that I may be able to get most of it done sometimes, but I'll never be completely enough. I'm going to let my friends down. I'm going to let my family down.

But God IS enough.
