I read your story over at High Calling and it is beautiful. It's the moments that really count, isn't it? We so often miss the moments. Sometimes heartache can be a blessing.

Wishing you a very merry Christmas!

Thank you, Emily. Regarding your comment on my site, I agree. Isaiah has done that to me so much these last few months, asking tough questions and asking if my life shouts worship in ways he wants me to?

Merry Christmas.

Is your mom still with you?

My nose crinkled with tears, and I grabbed my water glass to wash it down. Bittersweet, beautiful, and honoring of your mom, dad and Abba. Thanks, Emily.

Merry Christmas, virtual friend.

Wow...I had a brain tumor when I was 45 years old. Thankfully, it wasn't malignant and they were able to remove it. Your mom is the same age that I am now. She's so young...life is painful. Thankfully, we have a hope and a future.

Blessings,
