Days 588-592

Footprints of Death...............

I'm feeling better today.  I am starting to mellow out again after a few abrupt deaths that really affected me greater than I thought that they would. I am taking it day by day and working hard to replenish my soul with scripture reading, singing, and writing.  I am also diarying every night and reading old diary entries from years ago. I noticed that my past diary entries were sad, but I like the way I have progressed as a person.

I don't feel the need to go through the 5 stages of grief on this blog.

I hope that everyone that I know continues to live and love always and on purpose.

Days 580-587

Footprints of Death...............

All I can say is that I am desperately praying that God does NOT allow anyone that I know to die within the next year.  I need a break from death.  I know that is is inevitable, but I need a break from it.  I know that this may just be wishful thinking, but I thought it was worth a try just to speak my needs in the open. 

Truth is, if someone else that I know passes away, I doubt that I will be able to attend their service, because I need a break from the feelings that death brings.

Remember to live life on purpose!

Days 537-579

Footprints of Death...............

I am happy to report that after an extended bout with sickness, I finally feel well enough to write here again.  I have experienced illness and now I can say that I have experienced God's healing.  Just like God has healed my grief-stricken soul, he has healed my body.  Praise Jesus!

Since I have been away I have lost two father figures in my life.  The first one was my best friend's Dad, whom I called Papa Stephen (4/10/11) and another father figure whom I called Papa Bates (6/7/11).  Although they will both be missed, I hope they rest in peace.

I am wishing everyone a happy and healthy day!  Let's not waste our energy, time, or love on things that do not matter much, but let's choose to share our lives with others as God has given us the ability to do so.

Remember to laugh, live, and love always and on purpose.
