Mom was a wonderful and amazing women and her life here was short, but our family was so grateful for the time we had with her and also with my lovely little sister. My Mom and sisters death still hit hard even though its been over 30 years ago. We all have dealt or will deal with losing a loved one and its most difficult to navigate through the devastating time especially early on.

Through it all we must persevere and lean on our faith in Jesus for His strength, peace and comfort to get us through. My heart breaks for those I see turning away from the Lord when this happens. A very close family member who gave me one of my favorite bibles turned away from her faith and it was because of someone she loved passing away. This was tough to deal with as well.

Now here's the good news! There is hope in the Lord and when we trust Him we can once again proclaim to count it all JOY. Our life here is temporary. Let's remember what we are aiming for...Eternal Victory through amazing grace and our Salvation in Jesus Christ.

I hope this very personal testimony builds up your faith as my faith continues to increase because God always shows me the road to victory no matter the circumstance. When I look back at a difficult time, I realize that I was never alone dealing with these crushing blows. As a friend told me today, God is always with us on the mountain and in the valley.

God bless the rest of your week and Happy Mother's Day to come in a few days to all the loving Mom's!

Julian
