One Week Ago Today

May 11, 2011 by Leah Stirewalt 29 Comments

One week ago today…my world changed. Completely.

One week ago today…my heart broke completely in two.

One week ago today…I wept gutteral cries like I never knew existed within me.

One week ago today…the “worries” of my past and my future became laughable in comparison to my present pain.

One week ago today…I experienced the love of the body of Christ in its fullness.

One week ago today…I began a new season of suffering but a season more painful than any that has come prior.

One week ago today…I was abandoned…again.

One week ago today…I was betrayed…again.

One week ago today…the one who loved me most on this earth left me to be with the One Who loves me completely for all eternity.

One week ago today…my husband died and took a piece of me with him.

It’s my open journal, my electronic oasis, and it’s often the place I find true healing as I allow myself to “come clean” with my feelings. Read More...
