Serving a greater purpose

Like many days recently, my heart and mind have been on Craig. My guess is the fact he will celebrate his 28th birthday on the 21st of October has something to do with it. I miss him.

The realization that I am unable to control the circumstances much less dictate the direction they have or will go is a revelation to me. I’m a control freak. Anyone who really knows me will simply stay if something needs to be done, call Loretta.

If I tell you I will be praying for you, I fulfill my promise. We all need prayer. We all need grace. None of us deserve grace. As I mentioned in a previous post, I am finally OK with Craig being in prison. He is actually where he needs to be. It is a minimal security prison and safe in the large scheme of things. I know he is fed, has access to a Library and I know where he is. I spent to much time worrying over him in the previous years.

This all started June 11, 2011. Fast forward 5 years. Time does not make things better, it simply brings things into sharper focus. It is the Lord that heals the wounds, including those that remain unseen. May my testimony be used for his glory and to help others going through difficult times. I don’t have all the answers, I just have Jesus.

Tomorrow’s post will be of a crafty nature. Stamp Happy and Be a Blessing, remember always be kind to one another, life is just too short not to be. Until next time….
