Just yesterday, two different friends, during two separate conversations, told me I needed to let myself grieve over some circumstances that can never be changed. Then last night, I read a very timely post about grief from blogger Shelly Miller that left me in a puddle of tears. While her post is about physical death, she addresses grief in such a way that it's universal. I couldn't have said it any better, so I thought I'd share it here: For When You Feel Guilty About Your Feelings.
It's such a gift to see the way God is loving you through the words of others. Continuing to pray for you this morning as He speaks to you. Thanks for this encouragement.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! Your post was much-needed encouragement!
DeleteI agree with Shelly. Love how God's speaking in your life. Praying for you.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jamie! I'm loving reading about what He's doing in your life as well.
Deleteoh this has been a week or few weeks of tears for me too.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry. It's times like these that make us grateful for this community of bloggers who are willing to share experiences. Will be praying for you.
DeleteI have been caught in this weird place of mourning the loss of a marriage and trying to keep hope for years. Since our fire, then the loss of my health, destruction of finances, then his cheating and emotional abandonment. I've been in the weird limbo waiting for him to leave and praying that God changes his heart. Thanks for posting this. God truely cares for me and my broken heart.
ReplyDeleteAnon, your comment grips my heart. Sometimes I wonder why one person has to face so much. Your faithfulness and praise stuns me. It would certainly be easy for you to blame God. You are a beautiful example for me. Thank you for sharing your heart. I am and will be praying for you.
