I hope they send “blog notices” to my e-mail so I’ll know when you post, Ginger. I shall look forward to reading as you move through this “afterwards” journey. “Before” is full of pictures and memories. However, “afterwards” is already planned, as you know. I will love reading how God opens each door and adventure. Meanwhile, I’ll “sit with you” from afar as you take care of the things which eventually you will do . . . clothes, papers, the house, work, more papers! This blog will help us know how to pray. Love you! Joy

Kelly – I don’t know what to say. Thank you so much for sharing your story. You encourage me that somehow, at some point in the future, I will look back and see some good, some progress, some ministry that Michael and my kids can be proud of. I know God can take all our sorrows and trials and bring good out of them. You are an example of this. I thank God for the strength and courage he has given you.

I can feel and understand where you are. I was there 7 years ago. Jerry and I were married 40 years. We worshipped together since 1976 and worked in the same tax business for 25 years. We raised our 2 children and they each have 2 teenagers. A lot if history. When he died 4 months after being diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, my life totally changed. My biggest question has been, who am I?
I’m not his wife, his partner or his friend. So I started to think about who I wanted to be. I kept working but sold the business to the person working with us. No more risk or responsibility. I renovated my yard (pond, flowers etc) and our home. It’s exactly what I wanted. I didn’t have to get permission from anyone but The Lord. I went on a mission trip to India and came home having promised to care for 2 children with HIV. Within 1 year we were caring for 15 children with HIV and a few related adults with the disease. The next years we bought land and built an orphanage for them. In October of 2012 I went back to India and showed them their new home!! What a blessing!!! All I can say is that if jerry were still here I doubt if Kelly’s Children’s Home would be a reality.
So here’s my message: you did not die!! You have much more life ahead of you. Trust The Lord. Lean on him. He’s got the plan.
YOU ARE LOVED
