Yesterday we had a guest speaker at FBC, Joe Williams. He is a chaplain to the FBI and worked at the towers after 9-11. Wow that man had some amazing stories to share! He also did a grief share seminar between services. I attended thinking I would be there for support of whomever, having not lost anyone to death recently. However, I quickly discovered that there are many reasons people suffer grief other than death. Things like loss of trust in a marriage, health issues, financial struggles, and loss of vision or dreams just to mention a few, made the list of reasons we grieve. It didn't take me long to realize that I was going through the stages of grief because of a number of hardships and circumstances I have endured recently.
It's amazing how God works, putting me there even though I didn't think it was for me. I feel confident about where I am in the healing process, which I had been questioning, and hopeful for the future God has for me. It's good to know that what I am going through (and all the thoughts related) are "normal" and to be expected. God is Good! Amen?
Perhaps I will expound on this subject later. There are so many great things I would like to share about this subject. Thank you for taking the time to stop in and read my very first blog post!
