I’ve experienced life-changing grief and struggled for years with the physical changes, the emotional roller-coaster and the spiritual questioning. I asked ‘why’ more times than I can count, went ‘boldly’ (and disrespectfully) to the throne, and was confused by a pain I had never felt before. I believed I would never be happy again and had all but given up on fulfilling my purpose. But God! Through my trials, I discovered a path to true healing, deeper relationship with God and gratitude that continues to fill my heart. This is a story of faith, FRamily support and redemption that only God can author. And, I want to share this with you. If you are heart sick, tired of being stuck and ready for real change with Christ at the center …. Practical steps to make your hard days less hard…Understanding of what to expect physically, emotionally and spiritually…Solutions to those ‘gut-punch’ moments…And, Results that build your faith and allow you to enjoy your own ‘great day’ this is the place to be. It is possible, I promise! Join me today – take that first step of faith right now!! website: www.grief2greatday.com

SHOW NOTES
I can give you a list of times in my life that I felt responsible for the outcome of things. When I was young, I felt like I had to keep the peace in the family; growing up, I felt I had to keep those I was in relationships with happy. Or, even getting the jobs I applied for, making the money I needed to keep a roof over my head.
The thing about all those circumstances I mentioned is that failure is inherently built in and so I struggled with never doing or being enough. And in all those circumstances, the outcome was never my responsibility. My level of thinking was as high as I could reach or what I could accomplish on my own and that kind of life is tiring.
After Monica died, I saw how crazy it was to think I had control over any of it. It took her death and her example of being certain of God’s provision and started on a journey to stop working so hard to make everything happen. When I began Grief 2 Great Day, I made a conscious decision not to do that. I still had to work hard but I gave the outcome to God. And it’s so much better. I’m not fully healed of this issue but certainly far from where I was.
The irony with us humans is that we try to control all the things we cannot and yet take no responsibility for the things we do have control over. Well, maybe not you, but that has been my experience.
Listen today to see how life can be when you allow God to control the outcome of your circumstances but of your life as well.
WORD of the Week Seek ye first the Kingdom of God and all these things – all the things of life – will be added unto you. Matthew 6:33
