Saturday night I was sure I’d never live through Sunday. I was so scared to wake up and remember my baby has been gone for 1 whole year. I remembered how hard the first month had been….his first birthday without any celebration….the day I realized he’d been gone longer than he’d been with me….and I was sure there was no way I’d live through it.
But I woke up and felt … insulated. It was like nothing could really penetrate. At first I was worried that I had shut down and was really worried I was losing it. But then I realized I was peaceful. I began to realize that the Lord was protecting me. And, I am so thankful….
Thank you all for your prayers during this time!
We miss you Joshie and we look forward to being reunited with you!
Praise the Lord, Amy, to hear of God’s protection for you! My prayer for you was that you would be wrapped in the loving arms of God. When your journal was quiet I was concerned. Now I praise The Lord for how he helped you through the day. I will continue this prayer for you. This year was especially hard for all my family regarding the anniversary of Amanda’s death. On Thursday, we were all crying. One thing my brother-in-law said afterwards on Monday was “it’s a new week.” The Lord even blessed us with sunshiine yesterday. I pray for you and your family, “a new week” and sunshine.Love, Debi S.
