For now, He is safe in Jesus' arms. I'll be praying for you in your writing a book, I share that in common with you, too. I've been working on mine for about a year now. I am thankful to have met you, at least through the blogoshere...<br />http://themommyhaven.blogspot.com/Chanda Griesehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13389428792228790768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2557719621411312017.post-35148192690647450462012-09-19T02:02:15.296-04:002012-09-19T02:02:15.296-04:00My dear friend,
Your words here evoked the memory ...My dear friend,<br />Your words here evoked the memory of a book I read 15 years ago...The Power of Brokenness. (http://www.alibris.com/booksearch?qwork=9045494 apparently there is a new book out by the same name & this one doesn't appear to be published any longer)<br /><br />Being broken & surrendering to God are both terrifying & empowering at the same time. The terror comes from our own humanness--that fear of giving up control; the power is all God's--and what a sweet thing it is!<br /><br />Your journey (and your openness about your journey) continue to touch & amaze me. It also has brought continued healing and softening of my heart toward God. A long story I can tell you about some time--I never fell away from God, but I never felt as close as I once had: when I read about your life & your grief & your sweet Joshua, I can hear God whispering in my heart, too. Thank you (and Joshua) for that.<br /><br />Please rest assured, that you don't need to stand guard over Joshua's legacy. It is safe in God's care. He will not be forgotten, his name will be spoken, and there will be a line of us waiting to meet him when we make it to heaven. (Yes, you get 1st dibs!)<br /><br />I look forward to reading your book. You have a writer's talent combined with a provoking story. Thank you for sharing it with us!<br /><br />Love you, Jill!!!<br />~M<br /><br />PS~I used to do copy-editing ages ago if you need assistance of that sort.Auntie Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06610977491641901739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2557719621411312017.post-81152603541890206892012-09-18T00:09:39.287-04:002012-09-18T00:09:39.287-04:00Thank you so much for sharing.

I never met Joshua but I will NEVER forget him. I love coming and reading your blog. I have watched you grow over the last two years and its been amazing.

It's been amazing watching you grow into the strong woman you are... we always think of being able to "handle" things as being strong, but I'm a firm believer that sometimes it takes a stronger person to let go than it does to hold on. <br /><br />*hugs*Krista Phillipshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10772828583379163612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2557719621411312017.post-14654144333453326662012-09-17T09:28:06.849-04:002012-09-17T09:28:06.849-04:00{{{Jill}} Look how strong, in God, you are now?
