Holding on...

Holding on to hope and holding on to Jesus with everything I can. That's all I know how to do and the only way I know how to get through each day. I just miss my precious Elijah. Life will never be the same and I am reminding of that every day. No family picture will ever be complete as a part of our family and a part if me will always be missing. The only peace I have is that fact that I will see him again some day. I know that there is no pain in heaven and that he has been made perfect. Here are part of the lyrics of the song "There will be a day" by Jeremy Camp...

But I hold on to this hope and the promise that He brings
That there will be a place with no more suffering

There will be a day with no more tears,
No more pain, and no more fears
There will be a day when the burdens of this place,
Will be no more, we'll see Jesus face to face
But until that day, we'll hold on to you always

I know the journey seems so long
You feel you're walking on your own
But there has ever been a step
Where you've walked out all alone

Troubled soul don't lose your heart
Cause joy and peace he brings
And the beauty that's in store
Outweighs the hurt of life's sting


Sometimes I do feel like I am walking alone and I want so badly to feels God's presence around me, but I know he is here carrying me through this. If he wasn't, I would not be surviving.
