It's been an emotionally exhausting few weeks. The one year anniversary of my daughter's death came and went. All the 'firsts' are passed. I've been writing about life with Amy...and life without.
For so many years my life was defined by her needs. Our family was defined by her needs. Now it isn't. So I ask myself, Where do I go from here?
And I answer...
forward...
Rejoicing in my Saviour!

FORWARD! Absolutely - praying for you! Be encouraged
ReplyDeletePhilippians 3:14 (I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.)
As you step forward, I know your heart rejoicing in Him is singing even to your daughter...till the day you meet again. Blessings to you this day! - Pam
ReplyDeleteI hold you and your family in prayer. I am so very sorry, but am encouraged by your words to move "forward".
ReplyDeleteI have recently lost my mother whom I have been caring for for 15 years. She was 98, but her 15 years here with us was my world. Now what? I have been feeling quite lost and your word, just one word, has moved me from complacency and confusion to God's next step for me..."forward".
Thank you, and I am so glad I came by from "The Sunday Community."

My dear Anne, I did not realize it's now been a full year since Amy's death - I am truly sorry and my heart grieves with you, but your one word is perfect: forward. There is no better place to be than stepping forward with Jesus Christ. I am praying for you and your family. Your photo is beautiful and the verse is a favorite of mine - thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteHugs and blessings to you!
Prayers tonight for you friend...first time here but will certainly pray. God bless as you move forward. Love that in so many ways. Blessings.
ReplyDeleteAnne, I'm so sorry for your loss. I'm glad to hear you are moving forward, rejoicing in the Savior. Having lost my mom last month, I am grieving too but am moving forward.
ReplyDeletePrayers for you, Anne. Prayers as you move forward with God. Much love, Beth.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, Anne. May God bring sweetness & peace as you move forward!
ReplyDeleteHappy for you that you can now look upon the past with some perspective so that you can move forward. xo
ReplyDeleteoh how lovely ....this would be wonderful to share with I Heart Macro too:-)
ReplyDeletePrayers for you and so glad to see you are moving forward. Life...it does go on.
ReplyDeleteOH. I'm so happy you joined in with I Heart Macro:-)
ReplyDeleteTake care and rest.
ReplyDeleteGrief is a journey that comes in ebbs and flows. Praying for your continued healing.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful allium. I'm so sorry for your loss.
ReplyDeleteI can't imagine your loss friend. A daughter never should have to leave this earth before her mother...but life is not fair and the only thing we do have to hang onto is the Lord. We lost our granddaughter three years ago at birth...everyday is still hard at times.
ReplyDeleteAll we can hope for, count on, is our dear Lord, forever and ever. And so many of my friends and family are waiting for me in heaven. That's what I can count on, day by day.
ReplyDeleteBless you. And I LOVE the colorful flower and the Word.
Hello Anne, I am so sorry for the pain you have been feeling this week. It is a difficult anniversary. I am thinking of you and sending you loving wishes for healing.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Terri
