Did you ever notice that when you are going through the grieving process a lot of old issues seem to pop up? Maybe old losses that were never fully dealt with properly... not even having to do with the current situation? It seems that's the case with me. I want to quickly deal with it, but the old stuff comes up and I start believing Satan's lies.
I desperately needed a Word this morning and was bound and determined not to go to a friend for comfort, but to Him. I went straight to the Psalms and found this written on the side of Psalm 78 by Barbara Johnson:
"Sometimes allowing yourself to cry is the scariest thing you'll ever do. And the bravest. It takes a lot of courage to face the facts, stare loss in the face, bare your heart, and let it bleed. But it is the only way to cleanse your wounds and prepare them for healing. God will take care of the rest."
Maybe these are the Words you and I both needed to hear today?

Ang, These ARE the words I need to hear tonight but I don't Want to hear. I have looked for comfort in every place, every person, every situation, yet I have been unable to open my Bible since the day my husband passed. Why is that? I get so upset with myself, but seem unable to make the changes necessary. Facing the truth about his loss is a place I can't bear to go but must, but it is scary!!!
