I wondered where you went. That is a bad thing about the internet, you "meet" people and then you lose track of them.<BR/><BR/>Isn't it wonderful, the way God grabs hold of us when we are least able to move and guides us so tenderly? I am sorry to hear about your brother. I know it's hard. <BR/><BR/>I am reading blogs now, will check in at your new one and will comment more on there.anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14900362807680333144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9351429.post-1157122909315392692006-09-01T10:01:00.000-05:002006-09-01T10:01:00.000-05:00i don't know if it linked to my new blog-www.broke...i don't know if it linked to my new blog-<BR/><BR/>www.brokeninpeaces.blogspot.com<BR/><BR/>hugs friend.janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16834482389991259301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9351429.post-1157122757738984882006-09-01T09:59:00.000-05:002006-09-01T09:59:00.000-05:00annie-don't know if you remember me, but i used to...annie-<BR/><BR/>don't know if you remember me, but i used to blog a Spiritual Ingenue. It was my brother who took his life on June 26th of this year, and i've been working hard at the chore of grieving. I'm weary.<BR/><BR/>Penni shared this link with me and it was more than perfect for where i am right now. Thank you sooo much for sharing this- i've had encounters like this since his death. <BR/><BR/>the other day, I was thinking back on those first days after Gary's death, and how I could hear the Holy Spirit literally guiding my every step... "Jan, your keys are over there on the table. Pick up the phone and call soandso about directions to the funeral home..." etc etc. So clear and paternal, the voice. I had to go to Colorado without my husband and children, but I surely didn't go alone.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, I have been somewhat sad because these days, I don't feel as "gripped" by the Spirit as I did in those first days. I realized that I would rather be a broken and crushed spirit than to be doing well, because it's in that weakest place we experience most of Christ's power. <BR/><BR/>Those are my thoughts this morning. :) Thank you again so much for your words. Did you also lose a brother?<BR/><BR/>Love,<BR/>jan aka Spiritual Ingenuejanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16834482389991259301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9351429.post-1156986488834229042006-08-30T20:08:00.000-05:002006-08-30T20:08:00.000-05:00Thanks, m2, I am trying hard not to be a"frayed"! ...Thanks, <B>m2</B>, I am trying hard <I>not</I> to be a"frayed"!
