Yesterday was not a good day for me. Grief doesn’t care whether you’re wanting to have a good day or not. It comes at will.
Last night it all came rushing over me. All the what if’s. All the might have beens. All the coulda shoulda woulda thoughts.
They all came crashing down on top of me.
And you know what? That’s okay. Because that’s what grief does.
What would not be okay is for me to stay stuck in those unproductive thoughts. Doing so would not change anything that has happened.
Most of all, doing this would not respect the woman of faith that Faith Lin was while she was on this earth.
Yes, what happened to Faith was tragic and untimely and not what any of us wanted for her. But that does not change who God is.
Faith knew who she was in God. And on that fateful night, despite all our sorrow and grief, He called her by name, because she was His, and said it’s time to come home.
I’m so thankful for the promise and hope we have…that one day, if we are faithful to Him just as Faith was, we too, will hear Him call our name.
