Some recent wrestlings from my journal earlier this week ..."The impossible has happened. I don't know how we can bear this. I don't know how many more tears I can cry. I don't know how I can stay strong for everyone around me.
But You know, Lord. And so I will trust You with my family. With every detail. With every tear. With every decision.
You promise strength for the weary. I claim that now. You say any strength I have must come from You. I know that is true.
So I give my precious Lyds back to You. She was given to You long ago, and so often since. She is Your precious daughter. And if it is possible, You love her even more than we do. Pull Your hand-picked team around us. You know who each of us needs. Help us to handle this well, even through our tears.
You are able to bring healing. Your grace is enough.
I feel Your peace. I know that people are praying.
Linda
