It's Not So Easy

Apr 14, 2008 00:04

Here's the thing.  I know that God has called us here to Seattle.  I know that He is blessing us amazingly.  I know that He is taking care of the Well and blessing my friends and family there.  But I went to church this morning in a strange place, with strange music, and, well, strangers.  There was a time (long ago) when that is just what walking ( Read more... )

Cassie, I was just thinking of you Sunday morning - how The Well has a hole where the Epperson-Jones's used to be :( I know your situation is much more difficult; we get to go on with life as usual, missing our dear friends, but everything else is still safe and familiar. I can't imagine how lonely it probably feels sometimes. Just know that we do love you, and I'm thinking of you and praying for you, and our God is sufficient for all things in all things. It will get easier...for all of us. I hope you can feel the big hug I'm giving you with tears streaming down.
love, Maja

Although I wish you could be blessed a little closer =)

Almost every day Anna-Joy comments on when she will see Anneliese again. She wants to play together again, and so do I. We love you all so much. And pray for you each day as I know the questions are repeated on your end also. Claiming, "My peace I give to you..."

We miss you! I see in you a kindred spirit. I am sorry we were in the same location for such a short time :). I know God's hands are on you now, guiding you and your family with his love and wisdom. I pray that He will bring you peace and that "home" feeling you are missing.

ahh crap anonymous April 16 2008, 00:47:21 UTC
Don't you know as a pregnant woman I don't need another reason to cry!! On Sunday when I left that comment I was very sad and didn't think of how I might make you sad....sorry. It is funny you being so far away, but still not so far from my heart or thoughts or even the phone or internet. That means you are still very close. I remember going away to school and then returning to find life went on with out me...it was weird. That is the closest I come you understanding what you are going thru. I know there is some church that needs all the love, gifts, and support you have and will be able to do the same for you. God has already equipped you for what HE has called you too. Satan would have you believe otherwise but as we both know he is a lier!! YOu are amazing,your kids and husband are amazing and you all have a great deal to give. I know because I have been on the recieving end for years!! I love you so much. Detania

Ah D...I think that it is probably a good thing for me to grieve and be sad. The first couple of weeks I was walking around kind of numb. It felt like being on vacation or something. The whole reality of the thing hadn't set it. I still don't think that I fully comprehend what all I am missing, but I thankful that God has given me something so wonderful to miss. It helps me know what I want out of a church family here. (Not that a single one of you could be replaced...just growing the family :) Sorry to be taxing those pregnancy hormones!!! Love ya!!

As if reading the blog wasn't tear jerking enough!! The comments almost killed me. I second the pregnant woman's hormone comment. We talked about you on Saturday when we were moving Jason. Olivia had on some of Annelise's "squekey shoes" on. My first thoughts brought smiles and laughs over them but the more tired I got, the less I was able to "control" the thoughts and emotions... Much love my dear friend. This is not an end, only another chapter.
