I remember in February 2019 one month after we had laid my husband to rest, I felt so low.
My sister-in-law picked me up for church. As I sat in the car, we kept driving pass so many things that reminded me of my husband and that held dear memories.
I could not hold back the tears they just kept streaming down my cheeks.
I entered the church building feeling so broken. I entered the main auditorium, and I could not even make it to my seat. I was overwhelmed with tears and grief.
God use the worship leader to come to the back of the church before service to start to encourage me. I was able to get up and move to my seat.
I was still feeling broken. I worshipped God through my tears. Having no idea how in the world will I make it through this.
It was at that moment in worship that God began to speak to me. He showed me a vision of a Phoenix. He began to speak to my heart and tell me clearly that I will rise from this moment.
I accepted God’s word, but I had no idea how it would be done. As everything was such a mess.
However, I can honestly say that God did incredible things in my life in only 1 year after the death of my husband. It has now been two years, going on three since the death of my husband. God is not through with me or you!
No matter where you are in this journey, I want you to know that God has more purpose for your life that goes beyond you being a widow.
Take this time to tap into the greater purpose God has for you. You are still alive if you are reading this. CHOOSE to live!
Isaiah 26:3 (New Living Translation) “You will keep in perfect peace all who trust in you, all whose thoughts are fixed on you.”
I did not lose my mind because God kept me, and he will keep you too! TRUST GOD.
It is possible for you to RISE from this loss. My assignment is to guide you and show how if you are willing.
How has your Faith in God been impacted after the loss of your husband? Has it grown, or do you feel more distant from God?
