Pressing On

It has been really hard to get back to my responsibilities since the death of my brother. I have spent the last week mourning, being angry at everyone from my brother that passed away, to my brother who lived with him, to his doctor, to my mother and father, at the world for not stopping. Praise God I haven't tarried long in any of those places. So each day is pressing on, knowing that death is not the end, but with lingering saddness because I miss my big brother and I'm not sure where he is today. There have been some reports from believing familiy members that my brother, his name is Richard by the way, had been turning his heart toward God's call. I find comfort in that. But, ultimately my greatest comfort has come from God's words, His Spirit, and his people.

Now, to steal a line (somewhat) from one of my favorite bloggers - Go Kiss Your Siblings :-)

{{{Karen,}}}

I am very sorry for your loss. My heart deeply goes out to you. I pray that you may know His comfort and His peace in this difficult time and that His plan and will are perfect in all things.

In His Grace,
Kate

Pressing on is the only thing you can do, isn't it?

I love my sisters so much and I would be broken hearted if I 'lost' one of them.

I'm sure you will struggle with your feelings for a long time to come. But God is with you and He loves you and He will comfort you.

I'm so sorry,
Donna
