  • Having Problems - Why I'm Not Posting

    Hey Everyone,

    I just wanted to explain why I haven't been around the past while. Especially with my weekly praise thing. It saddens me each time that I think I've neglected it.

    I'm very much struggling through mourning over the loss of my very close friend recently. One of the side effects seems to be that I don't really want to socialize. Talking to people, especially online, is so much effort these days. Sadly, this extended to blogging too. There's a lot I have to deal with, which God is helping me through. It's just taking a lot longer than I'd expected, and seems to have hit me harder than I realized. After 3 other deaths the last 2 years, you'd think I could get past this easier.

    Anyway, I don't know when I'll be around as much again. Just sort of going with the flow on this one. He really meant the world to me, and it's still near impossible to imagine him not being in my life anymore.

    Hope you all are blessed, nonetheless. I might still be around from time to time, and I will more than likely read comments or messages received -- just might take awhile before I reply.

    Thanks for understanding.

    Blessings and Love,
    Sarah

    Hey, losing someone is a horrible thing; it should never get easier. I'm really sorry for your loss. I'll be praying for you!

    God console you through Christ this day and always.


    We read this in my Health Care Ethics class today and when I read your post, I remembered it. I hope it brings you peace.


    We do not want you to be unaware, brothers, about those who have fallen asleep, so that you may not grieve like the rest, who have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose, so too will God, through Jesus, bring with him those who have fallen asleep. Indeed, we tell you this, on the word of the Lord, that we who are alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will surely not precede those who have fallen asleep. For the Lord himself, with a word of command, with the voice of an archangel and with the trumpet of God, will come down from heaven, and the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. Thus we shall always be with the Lord. Therefore, console one another with these words. (1 Thess. 4:13-18)

    Peace be with you sister, and may Christ wipe away your tears and bring you the joy of his heart.

    Losing someone close to you is never easy.  Just remember that you are not alone in this time.  God is with you even through the storm.  I am praying for you!
