Yes...
Life gets better.
Loss gets easier.
Pain is a little less.
(I hated hearing that just a few months ago.)
But today I am proof
God provides.
He sustains.
He heals.
Five months ago,
it seemed like my world ended at 2:00 in the afternoons.
I would panic as 2:00 got closer.
That was when loss happened.
It happened on Wednesdays,
so you would find me on Wednesdays clutching my cell phone
waiting for more bad news.
That was when loss happened.
I also lived my months focused on a particular day.
You could tell when that day of the month was close
because I was lost in a sea of grief and despair.
That was when loss happened.
But this month, "that day" came and went...
without a tear...
without panic of 2:00 and
without me desperately seeking news on Wednesday.
I am proof that God does everything He promises us.
He stays close to the broken hearted.
He restores our strength.
He gives us hope.
He stays close beside us.
This is going to be a glorious unfolding. My story is so far from over. I can't even imagine what God has in store for me in the next 3 months, year, 5 years.
