Day 19 - Remembering Paul

Today has been a day of great information from Vendors at our corporate event. I also had the opportunity to meet some new work friends and catch up with other friends. It is also opening day for the Olympics and I love the pagentry of this event. But I got another treat today in my e-mail inbox. It involves an area of 'broken' that I know God will have me deal with in greater measure on this year journey. Today, however, it was good news about a very dark time in my life that happened sixteen years ago. That was the year I lost my oldest child at the age of twenty-one. Since then I have gone through my stages of grief and in the process I wrote about the hardest time of my life. I had the story published and today I learned that it is going to be published again. It is my way of remembering Paul and never letting what God did diminish. It was a horrific time but as only God can do He brought joy back into my life. With very little time to blog today I will just offer a prayer and then allow God to bring out the whole story of Paul at a later time. Lord, thank you for the gift of children. Just as you love us we have the chance and great role to also love creation you bring forth from a mothers womb and place into our care and keeping. I am proud to be such a mother! So onward for more training tomorrow and then another blog as my journey contines.
