Maybe it’s lack of sleep having taken care of my 7 month old nephew, Riley, or the emotional roller coaster of the month of June catching up to me but the littlest thing can set me off into becoming a human fountain of tears.
Hormones. That’s it. Or is it because I’m turning 40? 🙂
I was watching a show that some of you might balk at (my husband being the first) – Long Island Medium – and even though I’ve had many occurrences that can’t be denied (no matter what Neal says because he has no reasoning behind it he just needs to be the naysayer) I am still personally affected by the simple fact that those that I’ve loved deeply and have lost are still with me. At times I feel like they ‘show up’ to give strength and are truly being a form of communication for me.
I know, think whatever you want, call me crazy but they are in heaven and that is where we all strive to be…why not have validation of where we long to go? Why not feel comforted in knowing that even though we live through some major struggles here on earth that our reward is the eternal life of peace in heaven? What’s so wrong with that?
Why am I bringing this up? Because it was almost as if I had an onslaught of ‘communication’ this afternoon…literally surrounded by loved ones that I’ve lost but feeling them with me, giving me comfort and reassuring me that all the fight, all of the prayers, all of the burdens and strife is not for nothing, that they have joined my legion of angels and together I have an army fighting this fight with me behind the lines. We all have our spiritual army backing us up…how awesome! 🙂
The old me wants to delete all of the above because it might not be ‘right’ to admit but the new ‘pushing 40’ me is saying ‘SO BE IT’ it’s what I know to be real. And they showed up for me and that is what I’m sharing. 😉
Another blessing today is having my featured column SHANNON DEITZ: ON HOPE released with Choose-Now Ministries today. Check it out~
It is a monthly column dealing with issues between parents and teens offering hope and guidance. Take a peek and if you have an issue or question you’d like me to address please contact me! I’d love to help.
You are never alone. Even when you feel no one is around you that understands or you are physically ‘alone’, you are still never alone. I pray you take great peace in that statement.
Blessings
Shannon
