Weeping lasts more than one night
God is still able
Life changes in an instant
The strongest do survive and thrive
Your friendships can still be challenged in tragedy, but the ones that matter most survive it
All the planning for the future is mute, yet necessary
My values remain the same in tragedy and out…reliance on my God and the sanctity of my family
People follow your lead in the midst of tragedy
Crying is necessary…don’t stop the flow even if it is ugly and loud
It is extremely difficult to find the middle ground of stability between past joys , present pain and future plans and expectations
People can’t write your story of pain and overcoming…create your own guide
Some pain remains fresh
No matter what I say or do, God won’t turn from me, but people may for a moment or forever
No matter how much or how little I pray, it doesn’t make me more or less a Christian or more or less a lover and follower of Christ.
