suddenly

Things were going along pretty well. Then suddenly this. Woah. Charmed life. It's as good as it gets. Then suddenly. Bang. Here it is. What? Where did that come from? Are you kidding? I would have never seen it in a million years. Shock and awe.

Grief. Anger. Bargaining with God. Say it sounds like Elizabeth Kubler-Ross's steps.

Grief is an interesting animal to live with. I know it takes time for it to heal. The wound keeps getting scratched open.

Well, there is some good news. Trials make you closer to God. The raw edge of the pain just takes you to a place where your communication is so much better. Nothing else matters. All of the things that were distracting you last week, well, they all have taken a back seat now.

It's time for healing. Time to move on. Time to fix what has been broken so long.
Time to love. Time to see the good. Time to pray. Time to hold to God's unchanging hand. And as we are able to do that, it is still a beautiful day in God's world.
