My flesh and my heart may fail,
but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.
Psalm 73:26
It has been over a month since I have been here, and I have missed it. However, we have faced unbelievable tregedy and we are just now starting to make sense of our loss. Only two weeks after we moved into our new home, my husband stepped out of our front door to go for a run and was struck by a car. He died the next day due to severe head injuries. Although our grief is heavy, we know for certain that he was welcomed into eternity by our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. And, we take great comfort in the fact that we will one day join him in heaven.
I will continue blogging here, but I am not ready to jump into it again right now. However, you will be glad to know that I have made my way back into my kitchen; and, I have found great comfort in my routine cooking and baking tasks. So, until I am able to return to You Can Make That, please be sure to keep us in your prayers.
Alison, I don't even have the words to tell you how sorry I am! I have been checking your blog daily and was so excited to see your post, only to read your devasting news. I am in awe of your strength during such a difficult time. Please know we will be praying for you and your children. Don't hesitate to let me know if there is ANY way we can help. Hugs from San Antonio.

ReplyDeleteAlison, my heart and prayers go out to you and your family during this time. As Sandy said, there are no words. While we only know each other online, your optimism, resourcefulness, and faith have always been apparent, and these traits are going to be such a blessing as you and your children work through this time. Know that people you've never met have been influenced by you, and are grieving with you and praying for you that you'll find some peace during this time. --Cindy
