And so the journey continues…

As I write the forward to this, my second devotional, my sweet husband, Alan, has been in Heaven for over a year now. It’s mind boggling that I have already lived this long without him, eighteen months to be exact. There are days that I still think I hear him coming through the door. No, I’m not losing my mind. Others that have lost a spouse tell me that’s normal. The time I have spent without him has been hard but not nearly as hard as it would be if I didn’t know the Lord, and if I didn’t have friends and family supporting me. Jesus has been my rock and He has abundantly blessed me by putting so many beautiful people in my life.

As you read through these devotions, you will hear all about my Lord and Savior and how He has helped me day by day live a life that is pleasing to Him. Just like my first devotional, Alan will be found throughout these pages, too. Even though he is physically gone, I still carry Him in my heart and I’m looking forward to the day when I will join him and other loved ones that have entered Heaven before me.

God always knows what we need. For me, God knew I needed to stay knee deep in His Word to survive the loss of Alan, and so He gave me this project. Until the Lord takes me home, I will continue to do the Kingdom work He has given me. For now, my mission field is wherever this collection of devotions ends up. I appreciate you allowing me to share with you the things that the Lord is daily showing me. He is navigating the streams of my life and He will guide you through your life, too, if you let Him. My prayer is you will do just that.
