Death

Our family has experienced death this year in the way we never dreamed we would. It has raised discussions in our family that we normally would have not had to address.
February 27th I had a miscarriage. Since then, Heaven has been looked at in a totally different light. We have a little one there we want to go see. June came around and a little nephew was killed in an accident. Death and Heaven again became so real. But also started raising  questions in our children. WHY? If God is such a wonderful God, why did he allow this to happen?
After going through a really rough time these last 9 months, including a lot of depression, mental breakdown, lots of pain, I feel like I am finally pulling through, becoming stronger emotionally, mentally and physically. We do have another little blessing on the way.
Earlier this month we lost a special lady and friend who went home to be with the Lord. The children loved her, when Annie was born, she would walk down mornings and help with the house work. A real shining light. Last night Mommie (my Grandmother) died. Carrie (4) was comforting the others. Especially her twin. She would tell him. Carter, Mommie is better now, she can walk by herself. She is not sick. She is HAPPY!
I tell the children that the Lord allowed us to journey this road for a reason. Even though it is hard! I admit, I will never be the "Old Kristena" that I used to be. I feel like all the rough edges have been sanded down.

Till next time~
