• “If God gave us this cross
    Let us carry it with
    Gentleness and Love”

  • I know you are in peace, Dad

    My heart aches 

    I can’t help

    So, I try and try

    Smiling on the outside

    You taught me never to give up

    Overwhelmed with memories

    Unforgettable love, forever in my heart

  • Hey, you are not falling.
    You are flying!
    Open your eyes, little one.
    Look at your wings. What can you feel? Can you feel the wind against your wings?
    Your wings are cutting through the air…
    It feels good, doesn't it?
    You are natural! Believe me!

    Yeah, it was scary at the beginning. It's ok to feel that. You don't need to be shy. 
    Everyone feels it now and then, but even so, you jumped. 
    And look how far and higher you are now!
    Are you seeing that tree down there? 
    Where it all started.

    The valley of shadows where the colours faded to grey, where the old, uncomfortable tree is found, is no longer for you.
    There are new places, new mountains, a new realm vibrant and alive, where your hopes and dreams can thrive.
    You may fly through another frightening valley again. Just remember, you now know how to fly. And from above, you can see where sorrow dissipates. 

    Feel the wind, little one. And keep flying…

     I'm with you!

  • In the process, we cry

    In the process, we worry

    In the process, we think: “I want to give up”

    In the process, we want to be in control

    In the process, we feel alone

    In the process, we feel weak

    In the process, we surrender

    In the process, we wait

    In the process, we grow

    In the process, He gives us strength

    In the process, He holds us

    In the process, He holds our hands

    In the process, He takes control

    In the process, He is with us

    In the process, He teaches us

    In the process, He loves us

    In the process…

    Many things happen in the process. When everything seems to stop, He continues shaping us into His image. When it feels like there is no life, nowhere to go, He is there with a warm embrace.

    The process is hard.

    It hurts.

    It feels like it will never end, and like we won’t be strong enough to continue.

    It is not by our strength, but by His.

    His love is enough.

    His strength is enough.

    He knows best how to guide and control the situation.

    Surrender…

    Surrendering to the Lord is the wisest decision of all. When we place everything in His hands, He begins to move. Even when we can’t understand the process, He remains in control and walks with us every step of the way. The journey may be long, but giving up is not an option.
