Well, didn't like the Weebly option for a website. Will keep it up as a backup, but going back to what I know for maintaining a website.

And, putting it on the dot org domain. Yay! 😁

Moved our webpage and storefront to a Weebly site. That way it's all in one location.
I am done for the day. It's time to flop on the couch...and get in some sweat pants! In reverse order on that.....yeah. LOL

Today's devotional.
Then saith he unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death: tarry ye here, and watch with me.” – Matthew 26:38, KJV

It was a mild August day when Amelia climbed into the passenger seat of her car. She and her husband were headed to the beach to celebrate her promotion. “We’d only been married five months at that point. We were newlyweds and I was still learning so much about him.”

But Amelia and her husband never made it to the beach that day. Instead, they were hit by a drunk driver who crossed into their lane. He hit their car, head-on.

Amelia’s husband was killed on impact and she was left with life-threatening injuries. She had broken her back in two places, needed stitches in her face, and had a serious concussion.

Her body began to heal but her spirit felt broken. “Everyone told me to just forgive the other driver. I got a lot of pressure to move on from other people. One person told me if I didn’t forgive, I was worse than the drunk driver.”

Then came the day Mary showed up in Amelia’s hospital room. She was a widow from a local church who often reaches out to other widows.

Amelia shared her story, crying through parts of it. “How am I supposed to forgive?” She whispered.

Mary squeezed the woman’s shoulder, “Right now, your only job is to grieve. You need to process what you’re feeling. All of the sadness, rage, and pain. Let it come.”

Sometimes, it can be tempting to tell someone going through an injustice to “just forgive” but that advice can stunt the grieving process.

“It only compounds loss,” Mary explains. “So now, we have someone who’s grieving and they feel this guilt and sense of isolation added with it. Many people don’t realize this but Jesus grieved in the Garden of Gethsemane. Grieving is an important part of the healing process.”

God, help me to grieve with those who grieve. Let me be a loyal friend who welcomes the broken into Your presence. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

A while back, Kevin and I were talking. He looked at me and said, "You're not afraid of failing, are you?"

I immediately replied, "Nope!" What I didn't say was. "I seem to be really good at it." 🤣🤣

You have to fail to learn, right?

Well, I gotta tell you, for the first time in my 57 years....I'm actually afraid of failing this time.
Now, I know it's the devil whispering lies because he doesn't want me to succeed at Christian publishing.
So, whether the fear is actually real or just an emotional coaster he's trying to put me on....it's still there.

No worries, I will keep praying through it and seeking God. I just ask that my beautiful, awesome prayer buddies pray me through it, too. Thank you! 🥰
