Hubby...don't know the name of the song, but it goes like this "Waves of mercy, waves of grace. Everywhere I look I see Your face." Without the music and a little help, I don't know the rest, sorry! But the moment really was inspirational to me and I have looked back on that moment many times since it happened and gained strength from it.


Hanging on....exactly my advice. Just hang in there. Find some good friends, support groups that you can actually GO to. I found one that met every night and believe me..I was there! My parents were great supporters. But most of all I just believed that God already knew what my future held and if it was ok with Him, then it was ok with me. All I had to do was have faith and keep doing the next right thing, pray for strength, give it to God to handle and everything was fine. I was unusually calm during those times. I know it was all God getting me through. It was after it was all done and I was on my own, in my own house, trying to work, take care of kids, getting sick, having emergency surgery, etc. That I ended up falling apart. I was trying to do everything on my own. I thought, ok, I am going to walk on my own two feet, be independent, and I can do this. Well, I was wrong. Nobody can do everything on their own. God created us as "pack mammals" for a lack of better words. We need contact with others and we need support from others. So, my advice to you is reach out, don't be afraid to ask for help! Take time for yourself, go get a massage, a facial or whatever it is that makes you feel good about yourself. Go have fun with friends. Just remember to take care of YOU!! Good luck to you.

I will PM you sometime too!
