One needs to hold the silver in the middle of the fire where the flames are the hottest as to burn away all the impurities. His eyes never leave the precious metal and knows it is refined & finished when He can see His own image in it....May He see His image in me.

Mother's Day without...

It's the end of my first Mother's Day without my mom. And honestly....it was horrible. Other words that come to mind are heart wrenching, exhausting, sad, lonely, surreal, and just plain miserable. I know it should have been made better being with my own kids. And, by all means, it did. But there is no mistaking the emptiness that has weighted itself upon me since last night.

I miss my Mom more than words could ever express. It's been 3 months and nothing, absolutely nothing, is easier about it. Time has not healed, yet. I just want to talk with her, make plans with her...I want to know that she's still here. Reality is not what I want.

I will say this though...I realized as I dragged myself through this day...that I will forever be grateful to the One who so perfectly blessed me with an irreplaceable mother and the bestest of friends. Mother's Day did truly suck. But I'm sure it's because I'm missing one terrific lady...

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY, MOM!!!
