I've come to realize the true importance and value of relationships. Tonight at my girls bible study I was stripped bare, metaphorically speaking, of my emotions. I've been attending Lovely for a few months now and have been encouraged and impressed by the women and their sincere love for Christ and for one another. Anyways, tonight's topic was grief and how God uses that and turns it into hope. Immediately I felt Him tugging at my heart, urging me to open up about my mom's death.
My mom passed away three years ago and the wounds still feel fresh. She passed away from colon cancer. Although her passing was sad, I was grateful to know that she was in the best hands possible. She had no pain anymore.
I assumed that I was alright after. I even began putting my life back together by the grace of God. it wasn't until tonight I realized just how much of that emotion I kept hidden inside me. Three years worth of sadness, anger, and despair came barreling out of me and in front of a group of young ladies I met only a few months ago.
God knew what He was doing when He brought me to Lovely. Thank you ladies for being my pillars of strength and support. I love you all!
