Frozen Grief

“The Breeze”

If you want to walk by me do so 

Linger on for I am gone I can’t stay

I am the wind, the breeze, the tempest

The very breath of Life

So catch me only if you can

For I am gone

2016 and so many things have changed . . .   not a day has gone by that "frozen grief" has not taken its toll on me and my family. I speak for all five of us. Some days are excruciating and others bring a dull pain, but all in all I am satisfied with the direction God has taken me. I am carried by his grace and strengthened by his love. Even when I am charged with criminal wrongdoing, I trust in God that He will see me through. 

Don't cry My love, for I am with you always. I know you, and this was before you were in your mother's womb. I named you and will someday give you a new name that exemplifies My glory shown in you because you suffered on Earth for My name's sake. 

“For His Honor”

For it is my deep desire and my hope is eagerly that I not be put away to shame at all 

But that with perfect boldness just as I’ve been trying to do 

So His honor

So His honor

So His honor may be seen in my body 

So His honor may remain in my body

So His honor may be seen if I live or if I die

I may even have to die so His honor may be seen in me 

For to me to live is Jesus Christ

And to die would be so much better
