September 17, 2009
The grief was deep last night. I haven’t felt this kind of pain for a while. Perhaps it’s because this is the second year … and I’m finally having to accept that Wes is REALLY gone and he’s NOT coming back.
I felt so insecure. I wanted to do anything to run away from this pain. I was trying to figure out how to cope with it, but finally just asked God to please touch me with his love.
Then, as I was driving into work this morning, I noticed how sunny and beautiful it was outside. It felt like the Lord was saying,
“Enjoy the sunshine. Not just physically, but in your heart. Let my love shine into your heart. Feel its warm rays. You don’t have to struggle and strive to get through your pain. All you need to do … is relax and enjoy my loving embrace. It’s my love that brings the needed healing.”
“Your loving embrace? Yeah, right Lord. I’m not feeling it! The sunshine is nice, but I really don’t care. My heart is cold. Help me to feel your love, Lord. The warmth of your love.”
That’s when my favorite country songs came to mind. And somehow, it seemed like the Lord Himself was the One singing to me. As I listened, my lips broke into a half-grin, my face flushed … and my heart was warmed.

Would You Go With Me?
by Josh Turner
-the Lord asks me to go with him
-he wants to roll down streets of fire with me
-he wants to roll from town to town and never shut it down
-the Lord loves me so and asks “Would you go with me?”
-he wants me to hold on to him tighter
-he wants to be lost in fields of clover with me
-he wants to ride the clouds together with me
-when he sets me free, he asks “Would you go with me?”
-he wants me to help him tie up the ends of a dream
-he wants me to accompany him to the edge of the sea
-he wants us to walk even closer until the trip is over
-the Lord exclaims, “I gotta know! Would you go with me?”

-he says, “My heart can’t beat one more minute without you, girl!”
-the Lord says, “I love you. So … would you go with me?”
She’s Everything

-I am everything the Lord has ever wanted
-I am everything the Lord needs
-he talks about me and goes on and on
-I am “everything” to him
-he thinks I look great in anything I wear
-he accepts my moods and temperament
-he wouldn’t miss a conversation with me for nothin’
-he accepts the variety of things I like and dislike
-he loves my personality
-he keeps a picture of me close to his heart
-he holds my hand as I’m praying
-he prays for me
-he sings about me
-he loves to hear my voice
-he wants to be with me when I’m 90
-he loves me more every day that passes
-I’m the one he laid down his life for
