Siblings, it's been about a week, but I had to take a minute to grieve. breathe. and receive.
Some seasons call us to pause, to sit with what God has allowed, and to let our hearts catch up with reality. I am grieving the death of my sister. She died from cancer. "The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit." I had to breathe—really breathe—to accept that reality instead of living in denial. "Be still, and know that I am God." And then I had to receive the wisdom of God about how to move forward. "If any of you lacks wisdom, let God give generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you."
I'm not going to act like I have grief mastered, because I don't. Honestly, it's not something I've struggled with most of my life because I haven't dealt with a lot of it. The times when I have dealt with it, I've always been speechless. When it comes to the ending of a life, it puts me in an introspective place rather than a talkative one.
But knowing my sister, she would want me to move forward in timing that is natural and helpful for me. So that's what I'm doing.
I wanted to give you this update because I know you were getting used to articles every day or every other day. That rhythm will resume, but like I said, I needed a minute to grieve, breathe, and receive.
To be honest, I'm in a replay of that. I'm in a loop of it. I am still grieving and receiving the strength of God and the wisdom of God as I navigate this type of loss.
I appreciate all of your support. Stay tuned for the next article.
Stay forever #lockedinchrist
