I'm so with you on having a rough week. Thanks for your companionship in the discipline of showing up anyway and trusting that God's praise will find it's way out. I've totally been feeling stretched between sadness and gratitude this week, like I'm playing twister with bright dots of
aches and sweetness. You're right- being with my people seems to always help! I don't know why I ever resort back to thinking that I should be able to do this on my own- it's certainly never worked before. May the radiance you shine soothe your soul as it dwells in you and reflects so beautifully.
Thank you so much for sharing Jeff. April 28 was the one year anniversary of my 60 year old husband's sudden death. I was telling my son how I thought being a person of faith would make this easier to accept. And maybe it does. Or maybe it's just the faith that keeps me going. That makes it possible to even speak Psalm 34. I found you and Sarah from your first evolving faith podcast episode with Dan. I can't begin to tell you how much that episode helped me with my grief. And it still helps. Thank you for sharing yourselves with all of us.
Sorry you've had an awful week, Jeff. Anniversaries can be so painful. (If you do find a good way to get rid of fungus gnats, please share! I have them in rainbow chard growing from the seeds you gave me at Cultivate.)
Sorry that you've had a bad week, and thank you so much for "showing up anyway". I always get some joy from your posts.
