This 10th anniversary and Char's 48th birthday hit differently for me for some reason. It's actually been a couple of days since I have been in tears off and on throughout the day, and I can't explain it, but I try in this episode. I share my innermost thoughts and feelings in a way that I never have before.

Grief is a journey and although it begins dark and gloomy, one day the sun will shine again. You can persevere through the process because Jesus is walking alongside you every step of the way. Your third day is coming!

This is just a little poem I wrote to encourage you this holiday season.

My guest, Cindy White has suffered several losses within a two-year time span, yet she stands strong in her faith and trust in God through it all.

There is nothing that we can't arise from with God on our side!

God will do what He said He would do! "God is not a man, that He should lie, Nor a son of man, that He should repent. Has He said, and will He not do? Or has He spoken, and will He not make it good?" Numbers 23:19 (NKJV)

When we keep our hope in the God of hope, no matter what we face in life, we can say, "It is well, it is well with my soul!

God is Righteous, Everlasting, Almighty, and God is Love! We serve a REAL God who sees us, knows us, hears us and what concerns us, concerns Him!

There's no greater peace in this world than the peace of Jesus! No amount of wishing or anything that the world offers can bring real peace. Shalom!

Do not be discouraged my brothers and sisters when you are going through a difficult time because there is HOPE in GOD!

May the God of all hope restore your joy, peace, and comfort today in every area of your life! You are not alone! The Restorer is here!
