WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO WITH THE SEED?

The crowds have left, family members have gone home, the casseroles have quit showing up and the boys are back at school.
I sit here at home with reality settling in. In the quite, stillness of that moment a mass amount of of emotions begin to come to the surface. I knell down in front of a table that we all put together, there are photo's of Cody, his sport trophies, his shoes, a little waterfalls, the Bible and a box which contains Cody's ashes. I begin to cry and cry out, "Lord why me, why Cody? Where do I go from here? Even a plead to take me cause this pain is more than I can bare."
I hear the softest voice full of compassion and love reply... "Why not you? You have a box of ashes and a seed... Gail, what are you going to do with the seed?

It is a disillusion and even a down right lie from the enemy that causes us to believe we are exempt from tragedy. So as the Lord asked me I would have to ask you. When tragedy strikes we are always left with a seed. What have you done with your seeds???
Something to think about...

THE JOURNEY

June 29 2006 ( 2 months into my grief journey )

Straight from my journal....
THE JOURNEY
I can't stay here, I must move forward-
Time keeps moving forward and so must I-
I can't stay here cause Gods word is always going forward...
Philippians 3:14
Paul says that he moved forward towards "the upward call of God in Christ Jesus"
It is my walk with God that will move me forward into a larger life with God....
The Lords plan for my life is pure and simple, specially during this time of grief. He has shown me...
Oh Gail, what is good: and what does the Lord require of me But to do justly. To love Mercy and to walk humbly with my God.
My Prayer...
Lord may I humbly walk with You, take my hand and guide me through every moment of every day. Anoint my mind-mouth-hands and feet. Let me not miss what You are doing in me and my sons in this process. Lord download wisdom in me as I truly don't know how to handle the things that are ahead of me... keep me covered as I walk so very Raw- fill my loneliness with Your presents, fill my mind with Your thoughts, forgive me for my anger as I release it to You... fill my spirit with power as I witness to others and Lord fill my family with HOPE again -Let us not forget Your call on our lives. I pray for good relationships as many have walked away and keep us healthy. Help us to be a good witness- let us believe what we say- let us witness You at work through us... Bottom line is I can't survive with out you.... In Jesus name Amen

It has been years since I looked at this prayer and wow I think I will continue to pray it.... Blessings
