life and death

to say the least, the past couple weeks have been hard. i can’t hide the fact that i am hurting. it’s a daily struggle for me to swallow the idea of losing my gramps. i am not ready, and i don’t know if i will be ready but i can say this:
i trust that god is truly sovereign and his will is without fault.
i am blessed. he has provided me with amazing support and friendships; i am grateful to the people who understand and are willing to sacrifice little parts of their life to comfort mine.
it is hard not to praise god for how much the holy spirit is interwoven into the lives of my family.
no matter what the outcome, i can feel honored to be gramps’ granddaughter. never have i seen such an example of faith, courage and honest hope than in what i have in this man. gramps is so completely committed to christ and his will right now, my faith is strengthened because of his faith.
this life is not my own. nor is it forever. i can only be excited for true life to start with christ for now.
