The Encouraging Crafter

The chair!!! I miss seeing her sitting in her chair. I still haven’t sat in it. I just can’t bring myself to do it yet. I don’t know if I ever will. I see other people sit in it and I don’t think anything of it but when I think about sitting in it, it makes me miss her even more. It is funny how you can have such big emotions over something so silly as a chair. But I do. I think after a lot of reflection, it is my finality of her death. know she is gone and isn’t coming back. I have come to terms with that in my brain. I know where she is and she wouldn’t want to come back. But that dang chair!! No one sat in that chair but her. If you did sit in it and she walked in the room, you got your behind up without saying a word. My dad has a chair but it is a little different. At family get togethers if you were in dads chair, you might ask but sometimes he would sit at his computer and you wouldn’t have to get up, but with mom, you got up…no asking about it!

I feel like I am a pretty strong person and I am strong in my faith. I have been through a lot this year. Losing my mom isn’t the only thing that I have dealt with this year, but by far, it has been the most emotional and trying thing I have been through. We have moved, I have some health issues going on and work has been a little in the busy side to say the least. I know that God has a plan for me and there are things He wants me to learn. Sometimes it is just hard to see. He knew all what I would go through this year before I was even born.

God wants a closer relationship with me and you. He wants us to have faith that he will see us through our pain and hurts. He is the almighty one that we turn to in our times of troubles. He is my healer! He is my Help. He is my Joy! Without Him, I would be lost. Without Him, I wouldn’t have been able to be strong when needed. My hearts breaks, but He is healing it. It just takes time.

I would ask for prayers today. It isn’t going to be easy. Prayer has been what has got us through and it will continue to keep getting us through.
