May God our Father and
the Lord Jesus Christ give you grace and peace.
—1 Corinthians 1:3 NLT
The journey I had with my
mother, and now with my father, is one that continues with no end in sight.
I’ve learned that it is okay to cry—to hurt—to fail—to make mistakes—to grieve
for what is lost a little more day by day. This is not only a story that breaks
my heart, but one which builds my faith. God is my anchor in this raging tide
which ebbs and flows into the recesses of my heart. He is my only strength.
Without Him, this journey would not be possible, and His peace would not be
real. Today is another day to walk by faith. Another lesson. Another blessing. Another
sadness. Another joy. Another step climbing to the summit. Another opportunity
to live as He asks. Another opportunity to act justly—to love mercy—to walk
humbly with Him. I pray to never lose sight of the power surrender promises. In
giving myself away, I grow to know this person He gave His life to save—the
real me—the person He knows I can be. This journey is not about me, but who He
is in me.
