Life has certainly been life-in’ around here. Every time I think I’m going to return to blogging regularly, life gets in the way, and blogging has to be put on the back burner.
My aunt passed away very suddenly last week. It left us all in shock, understandably, and I’ve spent a few days traveling to my cousin’s house to be with her and help her through it all. She is an only child like me, and this has been so devastating to her and her little family. I can only take solace knowing my aunt was saved. She loved the Lord, her family, and her church.
Our community has also been reeling from recent events here, and adding to that, things going on in the world in general; it’s been a lot. Things just feel heavy right now. I’ve just had to take some time to focus on my family and disengage from the online noise. It can be overwhelming to see people arguing all the time online, and my Facebook feed has been super busy with a lot of this due to all of these things. I understand that people become passionate about things that happen. But when it starts turning ugly, that’s when I have to snooze people or take a break, so that’s what I’ve been doing.
I don’t even know where I’m going with all of this. I guess I just wanted to explain why I’ve been absent, and hopefully I’ll be back soon with happier posts. I’m praying for all of us. It’s tough out there.
I’m so very sorry for your loss. I think it’s been a rough week all the way around. My heart has been heavy as well. Sending prayers to you and your family my friend..
Oh dear Mandy!
I”m so sorry for the loss of your Aunt – and for the dark days lately. It does seem we get caught in those loops sometimes and it does feel heavy. I pray you continue to rely on faith and the hope in knowing you’re held and loved. And that you have friends that care and pray for you! 😊🙏🏻💗
Here’s to lighter days ahead filled with Autumn goodness. Cozy peaceful moments. And a world that calms and heals. Blessings always dear Friend. xoxo 🍁🧡
So very sorry for your loss, my friend. I am doing the same. There is way too much noise all around, and I am looking inward to my family, my home and my friends. Blog friends included! Happy first day of fall. May you find peace in the cozy.
So sorry to hear about your aunt’s passing. My deepest sympathies to you and your family.
Mandy, I am so sorry to hear about your aunt and for the shock to your cousin especially. I know she is thankful for you. The events at DSU were also so sad to hear. I would imagine that is dominating a lot of the talk in the Delta. It is a tough world out there. I hope this week is better for you.
I’m sorry for your loss. It’s been a hard time and having that and the issues in your area make it harder. Praying for your family.
I am so sorry to hear about your aunt’s passing. Prayers for your cousin and your family. No need to think you need to be cheerful here all the time. That’s not the way life works. Visit with us when you have time and feel up to it.
Sorry for your family loss. Things are a mess at the moment. I see a huge shift coming.
