Grief and loss…topics no one wants to talk about and yet, there they are in front of you.
Checking the widow box was never in your plans. You may be angry…you may just be… nothing. Or the pain may be too great for words. Maybe its not the loss of a loved one; maybe it’s the loss of a dream or a job or your expectations of what should have been.
God’s promises are still true EVEN WHEN you are broken-hearted, heavy-burdened, bone-weary. He’s there through every circumstance and every situation. God is your Provider, your Protector, and your Planner as His Word says in Psalm 23. AMAZON
