Those who traveled with me noticed I carried a small voice recorder. My hope was to upload Shafiq’s commentary in Israel and join it with photos from our group. I’m learning audio/video techniques right now and my practice video is my granddaughter, Nicole. More later!
- People ask me what I loved most about Israel. This photo just about sums my trip and my life in 2016. God, being my Helper, showed up in the form of His beloved people who stepped forward and helped me to the next level of recovery after the loss of my dear husband. His hands, His love, His provision…all supplied by those who love God in such a magnificent way that they think nothing of putting their lives aside to help others.
- Happy New Year everyone! We are really looking forward to 2017. Stay tuned for more great content!
- I am reluctant to count the days since his death. Today I did. 53. Fifty-three days since we said goodbye forever. That morning I took a little sponge and dipped it in coffee and touched it to his lips. Coffee and Bible devotion in the mornings was our custom. In my confusion I read the devotional for the day after his death. God in His kindness ordained it so: Isaiah 46:4 I will be your God throughout your lifetime–until your hair is white with age.
- He’s gone. It’s not that I didn’t know that he was dying, I just never wanted to accept the reality that I would be without my husband. Reality or not, he died and I am left to deal with countless emotions, situations, and decisions that demand my sole attention, for now I have no spouse to take up the slack of our everyday life. So how does a girl go about learning to be a widow?
