The past two days have been extremely difficult and I have tried to do everything to take my mind off of the passing of my Granny but yesterday I stopped, I just stopped moving, not on purpose because that was the last thing that I wanted to do, but I stopped and in that silence I broke down. Thankfully my husband was there to hold me while I wept and though I love my husband will all of me, that wasn’t the embrace that I wanted. The embrace that I wanted was the warmth of my Granny and her telling me “Mickey its alright” but what I got was so much more, I received the warmth of my Heavenly Father, it was His warmth that I needed and it was Him saying that “This too shall pass Mecoiya.” 2 Corinthians 4: 17-18 say “For our present troubles are small and won’t last very long. Yet they produce for us a glory that vastly outweighs them and will last forever. So we don’t look at the troubles we can see now; rather, we fix our gaze on things that cannot be seen. For the things we see now will soon be gone, but the things we cannot see will last forever.” This passage is going to remain my mantra from this day forward because it is a reminder that in every single situation we face in life it is producing, making and molding something in us that God is going to use for His Glory and the pain that we feel from it is only temporary. I won’t look at the Homegoing of my Granny as what everyone deems as a “loss”, I am going to look at it as what it truly is, A Gain for the Kingdom of Heaven because that is my Granny’s Forever place of Residence, the home that she had here was just temporary. This is a difficult situation for my family but in it, God is birthing a strength that none of us knew that we could ever possess and even in our weak moments we have each other, but most importantly we have God. Today I depend solely on a strength that is not my own and I encourage each of you to look at the finish line and not on the trial at hand, realize that everything no matter how painful, how trying or how difficult it is, is meant mold you into who God has called you to be.
