One of the things that I have been fearful of during this storm, is having to tell someone what happened. Having to say the words. Those dreaded words..."we lost our Jordan". I finally returned to church Sunday. I had to say them Sunday. It was hard. Tonight, we took the boys to Awana. I ran into someone else who didn't know what had happened. It is a VERY uncomfortable situation. I thought it might be easier each time but a wiser, more seasoned mother in this specific area told me I was wrong and I believe her. I think 2 years down the road, there will be days when I will react the same way I did Sunday. I will say the words, then the tears will come.
I have to share this quote. I love when God gives you quotes and verses that you just NEED...I needed this one today...
"Living a life of faith means never knowing where you are being led. But it does mean loving and knowing the One who is leading. It is literally a life of faith, not of understanding and reason --a life of knowing Him who calls us to go." ~Oswald Chambers

Please be in prayer that my CK levels don't go haywire. They have gone up a little. Not enough to change medication or anything but I am praying that won't happen! Thank you!

oh my.. I never thought of that.. I guess I just figured everyone would know..wow that had to be hard. Still praying for you. It was good to see you today, to see color on your face and the smile we all love. I know its still hard and will be for a long time, but our Father is faithful to get us through each moment at a time. love ya girl.
Jenn, I'm so sorry. Saying an extra prayer for you tonight... that can face those you have yet to need to "tell your story" with grace, courage, and strength!
Jenn,
Your quote really touched me tonight. I just wanted you to know that even when you are suffering so much, you are ministering to those whom you don't even know are watching. I am praying for you.
It was good seeing you again last night! I'm sorry you are having to face those tough questions from people who haven't heard the news. I'm sure that it will always be a little bit difficult to say those words, even years down the road. That little lump in the back of your throat will probably surface over and over. You are handling it so well though and I know that its not by your strength alone. Still praying for you. Love you!
ps...the offer still stands to screen all approaching visitors before they get to you *wink*
