His Ways

It doesn't get any easier - the Earthly side of grief anyway. When I focus on God, I can accept that loosing my daughter was part of His plan for my life, and I am not afraid to embrace God's plan because I know He has amazing things in store (1 Corinthians 2:9).

But the second I take my eye off of God and think only of myself and my loss, I feel as though I am buried under 1000 tons of sand. My life is overcome by sadness and I question how I can keep going without my daughter.

The only way I have hope is through my faith in the Lord. I know He is in control. God loves me and my family more than I can comprehend. God has our best interests at heart. So I trust Him. ALL of my hope and trust is in Him.

When Earthly ways don't work, I praise God that I have Him to look to. Because as Isaiah 55:8-9 states: God's ways are higher than our ways. That is why He can help us when no one else can.
