It seems as life progresses my grief compounds. It gets harder and harder to see ahead. I feel as though I am on a treadmill, running as fast as I can and making No forward progress. All I want is to be further down my road of life. I want be somewhere that I don't know I will ever come to again. How do I make True peace with my current position in life when all I really want is out of my reach?
All you mommies that are exhausted, that desperately want a break (maybe you truely do need a break); Please do me the favor and enjoy the days you have. Take joy in fact that you get to clean up messes; that you have Way too much laundry; you never get a moment of peace to yourself. We don't know what is ahead. If you can promise me this I will promise you that I will do my best to accept where I am.

Hi honey... waiting now seems to be one of the hardest parts. I wish I had some eloquent word of wisdom to impart, some kind of encouraging something-or-other to share, but I fear sounding "cliche-ish" or giving you a pat answer, and that most certainly is not my desire. I do know that God has given you the desires of your heart for a reason, and they would not still be there if He did not intend to fulfill them. Our God is not cruel, though I don't understand the reasons for why He does the things He does sometimes.
Thank you for the wonderful reminder to cherish every moment. We are praying that God will give you peace and joy during this period of waiting.
Still praying for you always...
Today's Morning and Evening made me think of you:
WHY DO I GO MOURNING?
Psalm 42:9
Can you answer this, believer? Can you find any reason why you are so often
mourning instead of rejoicing? Why yield to gloomy anticipations? Who told
you that the night would never end in day? Who told you that the sea of
circumstances would ebb out till there should be nothing left but long
stretches of the mud of horrible poverty? Who told you that the winter of
your discontent would proceed from frost to frost, from snow and ice and hail
to deeper snow and yet more heavy tempest of despair? Don't you know that day
follows night, that flood comes after ebb, that spring and summer succeed
winter? Be full of hope! Hope forever! For God does not fail you. Do you not
know that God loves you in the midst of all this? Mountains, when in darkness
hidden, are as real as in day, and God's love is as true to you now as it was
in your brightest moments. No father chastens always. The Lord hates the rod
as much as you do; He only cares to use it for that reason that would make
you willing to receive it-namely, it brings about your lasting good. You will
yet climb Jacob's ladder with the angels and behold Him who sits at the top
of it-your covenant God. You will yet, amidst the splendors of eternity,
forget the trials of time or only remember them to bless the God who led you
through them and works your lasting good by them. Come, sing in the midst of
tribulation. Rejoice even while passing through the furnace. Make the
wilderness blossom like the rose! Cause the desert to ring with your exulting
joys, for these light afflictions will soon be over, and then, forever with
the Lord, your bliss shall never wane.
Faint not nor fear, His arms are near,
He changeth not, and thou art dear;
Only believe and you shalt see,
That Christ is all in all to thee.
-Charles Spurgeon
My heart is so sad tonight for the loss of Jacob in this life on earth. I love God, I trust God; He is my everything. I just don't see how this can be okay. I don't want time to hurry past. I want the memory of him while he was still here to stay fresh. But that's painful too. I still haven't gotten to meet him! I know we won't understand until Heaven. When I feel this way I pray for you guys with a fresh fervor so I'm guessing you especially need prayer right now.
All my love, A. Susan
