~ Children In Heaven ~ 2 Cor 1:3-4

[jayna]

Good to see you Jayna!

Steven actually wrote this song for a friend who lost someone. This was written before Maria's accident.

It is one of my absolute favorites. I LOVE the lyrics so much.
I can relate to bad days. I'll keep you in prayer.
We all understand. When those waves hit, they can hit hard.
Hang onto Jesus, with everything you have. That's what I do on days like that. Sometimes you just have to let it out. Go ahead if your feeling it don't fight it. Go with it. Lock yourself in your room. Punch a pillow, cry out to Jesus. You will feel better afterwards. I do. It's a cleansing release. It's draining, it's exhausting, but it does help. :pray:pray:hug:hug



Happy moments, praise God.
Difficult moments, seek God.
Quiet moments, worship God.
Painful moments, trust God.
Every moment, thank God.

Thanks so much friend!! I can always count on you!! God Bless you. :)

Please pray for me. I have been having some really bad days. I feel like a faucet that won't shut off. I miss him so much, I can barely breath at times. I just want him back. I want to seee his face. Hear his voice. I'm in a set back these past few days. I'm short with my husband, I'm tired, drained, mentally, physically, emotionally. I want to crawl under the covers and never come out. I want to go be with my son but I know that's being selfish. This is so hard. My herat is broken. My son, my friend, I miss you.
Please Jesus, Come back soon. I dont know how much longer I can live this way. I tust you Lord. My strength comes from you. Help me Jesus. I need you, Lord.
I know all of you here, understand. I needed somewhere to vent these feelings. Somedays I'm ok, knowing Mario's in Heaven with Jesus. Other days like today, I can't stop missing him. My tears will not stop. I can't believe I haven't seen him in 9 months. The holidays are coming as well. My job is helping, thank you, Jesus. Losing a child, there is no greater loss. The heartache runs so deep. 24 yrs. old, his whole life ahead of him. I could go on and on. Sorry just havinh one of those days, again. I was good for awhile there too. Grief truly does come in waves. One day at a time, sweet Jesus.

This Thread is so encouraging to me. For the 4 months that my boyfriend has gone home to Jesus I have been thinking and acting like so many of you. I thought I was going crazy. People I share my thoughts with think I'm suicidal!! and need help. The moments and days that I feel "up" are the times I am confident that Jesus is coming so very soon. On the days I feel "it will be many years before Jesus returns", I get so choked up with tears and fears of growing old. I am so very lonely at times. I keep praying for peace and sometimes I feel it. I miss my best friend, and husband to be. I long to be held again by him. I don't want to date anyone else. I'm over 50 years old. I dream of the day that we pick up from where we left off. I owe it to both of us. Have any of you imagined what your "mansion in heaven" would be like?

I'm so sorry to hear of your loss... its so new to you. I feel the same way. I do so much better when I really believe Jesus is coming soon. Lately I'm really down thinking it will be many more years and I really can't stand living like this. I do hope I'm wrong.
I'm over 50 and single too so I know where your coming from.

I love to imagine my mansion and everyone elses too!! All of us will have to get together with all our families and meet each other. Its going to be absolutely wonderful... I can't wait.
No more death, sickness or sin!!! :yeah

Glad you joined in the thread but sorry your one of us... it hurts.

Yes, that would be sooooo cool to meet everyone from this chat room in Heaven. I will say a prayer that Jesus introduce our loved ones up there. They can make plans for a great re-union!! My guy's name is Tom. I found a song that so fits my mood lately:

Homesick (lyrics)

You're in a better place, I've heard a thousand times
And at least a thousand times I've rejoiced for you
But the reason why I'm broken, the reason why I cry
Is how long must I wait to be with you

I close my eyes and I see your face
If home's where my heart is then I'm out of place
Lord, won't you give me strength to make it through somehow
I've never been more homesick than now

Help me Lord cause I don't understand your ways
The reason why I wonder if I'll ever know
But, even if you showed me, the hurt would be the same
Cause I'm still here so far away from home

I close my eyes and I see your face
If home's where my heart is then I'm out of place
Lord, won't you give me strength to make it through somehow
I've never been more homesick than now

In Christ, there are no goodbye
And in Christ, there is no end
So I'll hold onto Jesus with all that I have
To see you again
To see you again

And I close my eyes and I see your face
If home's where my heart is then I'm out of place
Lord, won't you give me strength to make it through somehow
Won't you give me strength to make it through somehow
Won't you give me strength to make it through somehow

I've never been more homesick than now

Hang in there; that's what I try to do. Are we allowed to exchange email addresses?

My most favorite song!! :)
I feel sure our children are all in heaven together.... waiting on us hopefully!!! I miss my Jason's smile so much.... so badly need a hug!!
I'm just so thankful to God we have this hope at all to see them again. Just think if we didn't... talk about life being over!!

Thank you Jesus and bring us all together very soon!!

Someone told me to listen to this song yesterday. I did last night. It made me cry, but I liked it.

Wow, I love it!! So true. 'its the living thats so far from home'.
Thank you for posting this, another favorite!! :hug

[jayna]

Its me again!!!! :hehee

Sometimes I think I can make it until Jesus comes if only I wasn't so fearful of what the rest of this life will bring. I'm so afraid of losing someone else, I'm afraid of not being able to make it financially... the list could go on and on. I need peace..... until He comes.

Jayna, I understand how you feel. I worry every time my other two kids leave the house. Things are getting bad in this world. I know we are suppose to pray for our country and its leaders, but I feel selfish and want things to hurry up. The verse about the lilies in the field dressed in all their splendor keeps coming to mind. God has got us through times we never though we could survive through, He'll get us through the rest until He comes. Keep looking up! Love, Darlene:spirit
