Mountains

Yesterday I went to Rostrever, I wanted to climb a mountain and be alone with God for a while. I prayed, wept and called out to God for mercy. I climbed to the highest peak and sat down with my Bible to read. It was very windy but lovely and sunny but as I sat the clouds came down and enveloped the mountain top. At first I wondered how I was going to find my way down but then I thought if this is God I'm sticking around.
As I climbed the mountain I thought of Abraham as he climbed Moriah to offer the most precious thing he owned knowing somehow God would help him through this.
I released Jill to God, after all she belonged to Him. He had allowed me to love her and look after her for 32 years and then He took her home. Its really hard but I'm choosing to trust God's Providence in this one. God is good and in control of everything, even in the darkest valley. Still hurts.
Love yas

Hi Uncle Phil

After reading your blog I just sat and cried. My heart hurts for you so, so much.

I don't have any words of wisdom to share with you but I do have my thoughts and my prayers which are constantly of you and for you.

Love you so much
