joy

lately, with the newness that spring brings it seems that life is all around me but it has also been a season of loss and sadness! our dear friends have lost a Father and I seem to have no words of encouragement. they are just not there. even now, nothing. I am so sad for them and believe that God has put me and paul in their lives to help confirm them of His peace, grace and a solid ground during this time of uncertainty. I am praying for God's guidance and to always be the hands and feet. after I lost my papa billy the only thing we had to hold onto was the hope of seeing him again and our faith, strong family and amazing friends. sometimes all you can do is keep breathing. it has not gotten easier just bearable, i guess. but there are days. days when all i want to do is run down to his house, hug him and hear all about the new flowers he has planted in his garden or what new "herb" he has decided to take. i always look forward to spring its warm touch and sweet smelling flowers. for some a new, brighter season has began but for some a lonely place where everything isn't quite as bright. sorry for the depressing post i hope this picture will bring joy back to those who may have lost theirs. thank you lord for my incredible husband, family and friends. (both old and new) thank you lord for spring.
