This week began so great. We found a great church to go to while we are visiting my husband's family. We even went to a small group meeting on Monday night. We met some great people who really welcomed us with open arms.
Then, last night, a true role model in my life passed away. Aunt B was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer about a year and a half ago, I think. She had lost her husband to a car accident the winter of 2005, her mother the next May, and her grandson the next January. I had written her a letter and sent it yesterday to let her know how she was such a wonderful part of my life. She'll never read it. I guess I am selfish. I sooo wanted to let her know what she meant to me and my family. But, I have a feeling she knew. She was such a godly woman, wife, mom, educator, and friend. She was such a great friend to my parents. She opened her home to my boys.....and her grandson became a good friend of my oldest child.
My goal now is to get my life back on track. I know I can't do it alone. God, you have to help me. I want that fire back in my life spiritually. I want to be healthy inside and out. I want to raise my sons the way You want me to. I want to be a wife for my husband that You want me to be.
It is all yours, Lord! Help me become who I am in YOU!
Praying for my family and friends affected by this death...but may God drive people to want to be better because of her example! :)
