Anesthesia is No Good Until Surgery

Well today is the first post. I have been wanting to start writing but just haven't found the words to say. Life is going smoothly though I don't know what I would do with out Jesus. With him we don't have a care in the world. That being said my heart really goes out to Jennifer. I know that we as Christ followers tend to easily say "He is in a better place" etc and so on but grieving does not make you any less of a follower. Anger, sadness...these are all apart of grieving the loss of someone you love. A very wise woman told me once that God gave us emotions to draw us near to him not to turn us into hard rocks who don't feel anything. I have thought about many things this week and the lose of my husband is something I just can't even fathom. That same wise woman that shared with me about emotions reminded me that God only gives us the strength when we need it and not a moment sooner. It's like having surgery, you can worry all you want wanting to not endure the pain...you can even ask the surgeon weeks ahead to give you anesthesia but will this 3 week advance give you an assurance that you will have a pain free surgery? No absolutely not. In the same way God does not give us our "anesthesia" until the surgery! Oh isn't he wonderful! Why do we ever doubt his greatness. Please continue to pray for the Grant family.
