What is this blog about?

This blog is the beginning of my journey through grief and loss and how God is moving all the while. I lost my husband and best friend, Eric to ALS on April 21, 2010. His grace is sufficient for me, has carried me through the fiercest storms and will continue to carry me until I meet Him face to face. I couldn't live another day without his Presence in my life. This blog will be a journal of my struggles and the ways He will show himself to me. I say this without even making my first entry, because I am confident He will be with me all the while. The title of this blog was inspired by a song I heard last week called "Moving all the While" by Sidewalk Prophets. It was exactly what I needed to be reminded of at that time. That is one small example of what I mean about God showing himself to me. I will use my own words, scripture from the most important book on this earth that is without error- The Bible, quotes from other helpful books I am reading, songs, people, circumstances and other ways God speaks to me. Please use the comment section on the blog as it encourages me to keep writing.

Jesus Calling devotional for August 4, 2010

While I was struggling tonight with grief, I read today's devotional since it is the next day even though I haven't slept yet.  Jesus Calling is a daily devotional that my sister gave me by Sarah Young.  I will refer to it often, I'm sure.  Here it is:
"Hold my Hand, and walk joyously with Me through this day.  Together we will savor the pleasures and endure the difficulties it brings.  Be on the lookout for everything I have prepared for you; stunning scenery, bracing winds of adventure, cozy nooks for resting when you are weary, and much more.  I am your Guide, as well as your Constant Companion.  I know every step of the journey ahead of you , all the way to heaven. 
You don't have to choose between staying close to me and staying on course.  Since I am the Way, staying close to me is staying on course.  As you focus your thoughts on Me, I will guide you carefully along today's journey.  Don't worry about what is around the next bend.  Just concentrate on enjoying my Presence and staying in step with Me." 

Thank you God again for already showing up so clearly to me now.  Please be with me as I finally lay my head to rest and  be my Constant Companion when I wake up.  Help me to focus on enjoying your presence and not to look ahead.  I know you will guide me to Your best for my life.  Amen.
