So yesterday I was leaving church and it was great. It was our kick-off of Saturday night service and I enjoyed myself so much. Not only was it a great night, but I also knew we would be praying for a really close friend of mine later that night. Things were going great and I also decided to sign up for this dinner thing the church is offering next Friday. I looked into it and saw that I could register online and create an account and so I did. Well as I am going through the pages, the site prompts me to pick the person I want to purchase the ticket for and there at the top of the page right above my name is my mom’s name. The flow of emotions that ran through my body was weird, and I felt a little drop in my stomach. It often puzzles me how fast time moves, especially after you lose someone you love so dearly. On the 23rd of this May it will be 3 years since my mom passed and I sometimes hate how I have just moved on. Don’t get me wrong I know life keeps going and my hope is in Heaven so I know she is more than fine with Jesus. It is just the emotional roller coaster we put ourselves through. I am in a different and much better place now than I was even a year ago and I am not going to allow my grievous feelings to run me away from God. Nope, this time I am sitting in it with Christ by my side and let Him comfort me as He sees fit and hopefully pick me up when needed. Memories are awesome for the most part and I have a lot of great memories of who my Mom was and what she did for people while she was here. I again pray that my crown of life will reach as wide as hers. She touched so many people and loved them in her special way. Her love for Jesus was awesome and it was something I did not pay great attention to while she was alive, but she stayed in prayer.. I think she got into a car accident once because she was praying at the light and forgot to hold onto the brake. No one was hurt and it was a little fender bender, but still she felt the need to pray at that moment and she did. There are so many memories we have of the good and bad times we have experienced with our loved ones, but since we know this life is but a vapor let us make memories of Joy. Take the time this week to overuse the word Love and tell all those in your life How Much You LOVE Them!! It is something we show a lot of times by our actions, but there is something in us that has wired us to want to hear the words and be followed with a Hug. There are always going to be Ninja type of attacks in our life to remind us of those we have lost, but if we center our life in Christ when those attacks come and try to bury us, God will lift us up and grieve and rejoice with us. Selah!!
Memories..

Hi Anthony;
Be assured that your Mom left this world in a state of Grace and Peace that she is where she because of her faith in the Master Jesus. Her love for you was very strong and she was very proud of you.
It is good to remember her and proay for her.
