...one whom Jesus loved...

who would you like to be known as? that's kind of been my question... i really struggled with it for months after P died. i was his wife... i'm A's mom... he and i were one... and then half of me was gone... so who was i? who did i want to be? today i was reading this book and it talked about john the disciple and how he was known as the one whom Jesus loved. that's what i want my existence to be. even through circumstances that are traumatic, i want to have my identity be the one whom Jesus loved... He loves me so much to walk me through the shadow of death and bring me out the other side with His face shining upon me...

these days have been hard. going through boxes and sorting through things... memories.. all the pain comes back... not just that but questions all over again are bombarding me. who else but our Lord and Savior do we cling to at times like this? but i'm so tired... Lord help me through all this... especially these next 6 weeks as i prepare to go back and the first months there. grieving is so draining... on top of all the things that need to get done.

please pray for coverage over me during this time!!!
