Laura's Life

Disclaimer this was written several weeks ago prior to a "First" for me and I was struggling. What "Firsts" come to your mind? The first time you got a car? The first time at a job?, How about the birth of your first child? Or your first time buying a home? While these are joyous occasions and should be celebrated, there some "firsts" that are not so positive. The first time you get fired, loss of a friend or family member, or what about the first holiday without a loved one? Ouch this one is tough. My family's first reunion without my Granny has caused me some anxiety and leaving some raw emotions under the surface. When a loss occurs you naturally are left with a hole that over time reduces..

If you have the assurance that your loved one is in heaven, that alone can encourage

Change comes and goes in our life just like that. It is a normal part of life.. the question is how will you handle it? God calls us to love our brothers and sisters and to build each other up and support them in all that they do. Sometimes a change happens and it affects a large group people. As we all deal with the change differently it is crucial to bond together and get the change together. When we are weak individually and together we are prime targets for the enemy to strike!! We are targets for him to attempt to cause disunity. Are we going to lower ourselves to let someone who hates us so to bring downfall to ourselves? Why not look to the glorious Master and His glorious Heavens for His guidance and wisdom!! Why not love, support, work together and glorify Him?? Go forth and bless Him!! In your actions...
