Sunny on the Outside and Sunny on the Inside too

                                                  Hello and welcome to this sunny day!
I am so thankful for prayers said that change the heart and mind of people. The other day as you may have read here on my blog I was having a very difficult day grieving my son. I was miserable and couldn't see the light beyond it. I poured out my heart here and I believe others prayed for me. I know a lady came along side me from my online Bible study at Proverbs31 ministries and she prayed for me and encouraged me, along with sharing her losses with me. Within a short time that grief lifted and I was able to do a 90 minute workout. Now that is some serious answers to prayer I think!
  I love that God is at God near at hand and that he cares for us and all we care about. It is such a peaceful place to be when I am resting in His love and care. There is a renewed hope and sense of strength as I move away from that strong place of grief. My son won't be coming back to me and it has not changed since Monday when I hurt so deeply but my heart was touched by Jesus and by the prayers being said for me. There is a hope in this moment and every moment I walk close to Jesus and let him hold my hurts and cares. So once again I can stand up and brace the truth of loss and all it's hard ache and deep pains while stepping back and letting it go and not holding it back but coming around to the deep sense of peace as Jesus takes me and leads me back into the land of the living.
  I praise The Lord for his unfailing love to me and that he holds my son with him and is holding me with the same loving arms that keep me going.
  Lamentations 3:19-26
Remember my affliction and roaming, the wormwood and the gall. My soul still remembers and sinks within me. This I recall to mind, therefore I have hope . Through  the Lord's mercies we are not consumed, his compassions fail not. They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness. " The Lord is my portion," my soul says ,"Therefore I hope in Him !"  The Lord is good to those who wait for Him, to the soul that seeks Him. It is good that one should hope and wait quietly for the salvation of The Lord.
