I CAN STILL SEE IT ~

There are things that happen in our lives that just don't make since.  I was 18 years old when my dad died suddenly inside our bathroom at home.  I remember the day, about the time and the tears of that day.  I can still see my dad in the bathroom and I can see him as they put him into the ambulance.  Little did I know that I would never see him alive again.  I'm sharing this today because I can still see it. There are so many others that can still see moments in their lives that we must lean to God and not our own understanding. 

Isaiah 41:10  New International Version (NIV)
So do not fear, for I am with you;
    do not be dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you and help you;
    I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

The heartbreaking event that changed my life 


2 Timothy 1:7  New King James Version (NKJV)
For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.

The midnight hour when my Tracy (My daughter) came through my door the night of fire. I can see the look on her face and they just needed to get out of the fire area.  Yet, I saw the look on her face and husband as they waited to hear the news about their house.  The news would not be good news and now a new normal would begin.  Actually, a lot of new normals and no words can help.  Yet, I do believe that God will bring good out the ashes they witness of their house and property.

The day I trusted Jesus to come in and help me with things I couldn't change.  To loose a loved one is so hard.  We are human and we want to know why did it happen to them?  The great wonder at that moment, but the great wonder so many years later.  It hurts and we are reminded of the things we see in life.  It's hard to erase it and over the years, I find it comes back.  I remind myself that I am human and it's okay to cry.  I find myself nervous and tears in my eyes.  It is just the human side of me.  

There are other events that make us feel lost and wondering too.  The current fires in Napa county and surrounding areas have put so many people on alert.  Hundreds of houses and so many people being affected.  Yes, material things are materials but they are still their things.  I hear both my daughter and son in law speak of beginning again.  Seeing the positive is important through all seasons of life.

As you begin your new day, know that my prayers are with you, your family and friends.  Sometimes there is nothing we can say but just being there for someone is great.  I have seen people in stores and one response is this, "I didn't know what to say, so I didn't message you".  If you don't know what to say in a storm of someone's life, just say, "I have no words, but I care".  Let us learn to be there for each other and share real life.  Contact someone today and tell them you care.
