Final Reflection

Closure of this season...reflection has been so humbling. 1 year ago...an entire year, 1 month after another I journeyed reflection. Death is not it, it's a completion of life here on earth but when truly embracing the understanding that we all will live eternally in The Lord comforts the losses, I may always have to remind myself of the promises in Him, when I have "missing" days...but that's okay...He knows, Because as closure came...It was scripture clear.."Jesus wept."..and so too I will have moments...some in joy, some in the simple, but big memories I hold to, and facing everchanging seasons aging and directing my one and only son into a path of his own...Letting go is apart of the human journey, it's that we hold so tight to what we love and really are grateful in the Lord for giving in our life on earth...a piece of heaven in loved ones...deeply felt love.. It may be that we ebb and flow until the end...but...it's been and will keep being a beautiful gift this side of heaven...to Love and Be Loved beyond all expectations|totally| understood...that, well...is healing...and nothing this earth can ever offer...The love between two hearts.. Blessings& Light. November Reflection --------YOU--------- 1 year...healing, growing, reflecting and prayerful in His Will, His Timing, To radiate and see His Glory! I know you know before I speak- you have placed each season before I even became me- my searching and hurts led me to you- YOU have always known me-to the depths of me- I don't always understand but I am accepting as only I am able in YOU-- The transitions are hurtful- my heart must embrace this and seek you-YOU and only you can get me to the place I must be- The seasons are a way of clearing out and opening to new seasons YOU have in store. This time in life has opened me to see loss and gain- a loss of who I once was- to finding this new person- you have been shaping and molding me my whole life - it's been in this "still" place , this "quiet" that you have been profoundly healing me- so I can take hold of those roots in my early walk- while these new leaves had to shed- to be clear-to be open, to be see through- nothing to hide- total exposure. I am walking in the unknown with faith as my companion- and I have the peace beyond my own understanding- That it was all and is to be continued worth it- I pray for the Will of you in me to finish what you started so long ago- that I can be be what you have fashioned - moons ago when you created me from the union of my parents. The loss of both has opened my heart - and as I take hold of you-YOU help me navigate the release- of my own journey-into the new life of your child- give me your eyes, your ears,your love to be for him what you made me for- to prepare HIS heart in you - so he can rise into you all the days of his life. May I find calm in YOU- so as we phase - I can continually seek You-He is your beautiful creation, your child, just as I am in You...We are wonderfully uniquely made...just for you..for such a time as this...& guide my walk daily with...My Love: May the paths you laid before us be our guide and give me the strength to take the path-selflessly- I pray for the gift of YOU within our marriage to be our continued strengthened and our focus be within YOU- your way of containment within our seasons now and ahead together- in all seasons may we reach out to YOU and within each other to embrace your ways planted within each of us, we know YOU are always good- with Thanksgiving I take comfort In YOU, for in YOU I find rest. Scriptures of a year in reflection--- John 11:35 - Jesus wept You see my tears, and none are wasted, you...Psalm 56:8 You have taken account of my wanderings; Put my tears in Your bottle Are they not in Your book? Jeremiah 1:5 “Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.” You know each path of this child's walk in you, I am comforted in YOU, knowing all my days... I came to You with my heart in pieces And found the God with healing in His hands I turned to You, put everything behind me And found the God who makes all things new I looked to You, drowning in my questions And found the God who holds all wisdom And I trusted You and stepped out on the ocean You caught my hand among the waves 'Cause You're the God of all my days Each step I take You make a way And I will give You all my praise My seasons change, You stay the same You're the God of all my days https://youtu.be/RocPcgqCDE0 Isaiah 64:8 - But now, O LORD, thou [art] our father; we [are] the clay, and thou our potter; and we all [are] the work of thy hand. As you continue to shape me, in uncomfortable ways, I now understand that I must be released into your Hands completely, to understand the Peace only YOU give... Have Thine own way Lord Have Thine own way Thou art the potter I am the clay Mold me and make me after Thy will While I am waiting yielded and still https://youtu.be/_PlFwqYAx40 https://davidjeremiah.blog/what-it-means-to-be-clay-in-the-hands-of-the-potter/ Revelation 21:4 ‘He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death’ or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.” This comfort is so beyond my understanding, In YOU I have found this calm in loss. A nice side read, tears are healing. https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/emotional-freedom/201007/the-health-benefits-tears Hebrews 11 King James Version (KJV) 11 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. This I have embraced, falling forward into YOU. Matthew 6:9-13 King James Version (KJV) 9 After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. 10 Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. 11 Give us this day our daily bread. 12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. 13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen. Philippians 4:13 - I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me. YOU show up in every aspect of this walk...I have found the peace in knowing you are in step with me, every single breathe I take. Genesis 2:18 And the LORD God said, "It is not good that man should be alone; I will make him a helper comparable to him." In whatever season you may be in journey...may you find the strength within to just be still, to rest in the assurance that we are completely loved and held. Blessings &Light. Dawn
