My mom's funeral is tomorrow and in the month that she's been gone, there's something I've found that I've just clung to when I thought the grief was going to swallow me up.

Is there something you're praying for right now that feels unrealistic? Too big? Well, in the presence of the King, that's something you don't need to worry about.

Have you ever been listening to someone talk and you feel like they're speaking specifically to you?

That happened to me recently at church in one of my pastor's sermons and I think the challenge he issued is something you could benefit from, too.

People ask me how I'm doing since the death of my mother. I'm planning the funeral for this Saturday.


The answer is: I'm thankful for everything I have and all the people in my life.But, I am also barely keeping my head above water and terribly, terribly sad. Both are true. And right now, that's okay.

Thanks for your prayers.
