Earlier today something told me I needed to go to a certain Christian bookstore. I wasn’t sure as to why but I went anyway. While I was looking at some books I saw a gentleman fall. There was another gentleman trying to help him up but was struggling to do so with any good fortune. So I walked out to help and we were able to get the gentleman back on his feet. I thought ” now I know why I was sent here”. I went back into the store to start looking again when the gentleman that was helping approached me about a book I was going to purchase. We started talking and I mentioned the loss of my wife. He said his mother had died a few weeks back and his father was really struggling. I shared some insight on what it’s like to lose a spouse. His mother-in-law and wife walked up and we started talking about my current situation. The more we talked the more it became clear that I knew what I had to do and that is to be truer to my faith walk. Then comes the question of how do I go about that? At this point I simply don’t know what to do but I have to get past what others might think and do what God has put on my heart!

I have been attending the same church for nearly 30 years and with the loss if my beloved wife I think I owe it to myself to take a hard look at my life. That includes which church I attend and if me being there is where God wants me to be at this time? It is a question that my late wife and a I talked about often. As of this moment my heart is telling me it’s time to move on because the church just is not meeting my spiritual or supportive needs.
However, everything is still clouded by my mourning of my wife which was less than 4 months ago. Scripture tells us to wait on the Lord I just wish he would hurry up and tell me what his plans are for my life.

So often in today’s culture a woman’s beauty is classified by how she looks physically. News flash for all of you. A woman’s outside appearance has nothing to do with how beautiful she truly is on the inside. Lets be honest physical appearance can take people only so far in life. The reality is you learn in a relationship that what is beautiful in a woman are those qualities that make her special every single second of every single day.
