Ugh...
I have had a lot going on the past few weeks. There have been a ton of things to blog about. Regardless of all that is going on that I could write about I seem to just have no heart for it lately. I am forcing myself to sit and type this post...just so my blog doesn't lie dormant for the whole month of April.
I must be in the doldrums. If you never read the book "The Phantom Tollbooth" by Norton Juster growing up...you should go back and read it, or at least watch the movie (yes it is for children, but I still enjoy it).
The past month has been really hard for me emotionally. I attended two of the most heartbreaking funerals of my life. One for a friend's one day old baby. And a second for another sweet friend of my brother's--who is like a brother to me--seven year old girl (you can read about their story or non-profit here).
Ever since I have just not had the heart for blogging. The past month has not been all sorrow--just a lot of it--we have had some really fun things going on too.
In fact, this past Sunday was Easter and it was the first Easter that Claire was old enough to sort of get into the holiday. The church service was really good and we had most of our family over to my parent's house for a potluck Easter dinner--maybe I will force myself to make an Easter post...
For now, all I can say is sorry blog and occasional blog readers. My heart is still grieving. My sorrow is deep, but it is not without hope. And because my words and thoughts have not been motivational enough to get me writing I am just going to share some of the verses that I have been resting on/in these past few weeks:
"The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit" Psalms 34:18
Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the LORD, “He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.”' Psalms 91:1-2
Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest." Matthew 11:28
