I told you I wasn’t fooling. I’m back! Happy Truth Bomb Tuesday!

During this season, I have felt God piercing my heart with many TRUTHS!

The number one truth above and beyond any other is the faithfulness of God!  

My pause from my Blog began last year at Mother’s Day.

God called my Mom home to heaven on December 3rd of this last year, 2025. 

When Mother’s Day hit last year, He was preparing to take her home, and I was preparing to let her go. So many thoughts were whirling around in my head, and so many feelings were flooding my heart and my spirit that I had a hard time putting any of them into words. I had ultimate joy in knowing that my mom loved Jesus, and had accepted Him as her Lord and Savior many years before. The knowledge and the truth of this gave me joy in knowing she would be forever with Him in heaven, soon. I had fear in letting go and knowing that for the first time in my life I would have to live on this earth without her. I had peace in my spirit, knowing that she would be pain-free, and her memory would be fully restored to her when she got to heaven. I had sadness as I realized I would never again get to hold her hand, kiss her cheek, or hear her sweet voice sing Jesus loves me! Ultimately, I had grief, human grief in letting go of someone I adored and called my best friend!

For over eight years, my mother suffered from severe Alzheimer’s. And now another Mother’s Day had come, and she was closer than ever to being in heaven with her Savior, and I just didn’t know what to write or how to write it.

There are many lessons, and Truths to be shared through those eight months that followed until God did, indeed call her home, but the one that was with me, then, and with me every single moment of every single day, through all of it was God‘s faithfulness! Through every thought and every feeling, through every up and through every down, through every pain and every struggle, through every doubt, and every fear, God’s faithfulness never left my side. I was never truly alone, I was never desolate, I was never hopeless. God was always with me!

“But the Lord is faithful; he will strengthen you and guard you from the evil one.” 

2 Thessalonians 3:3.

Death was not God’s original plan, but relationship was! When we love with all of our hearts, and we are loved with all of someone’s heart, we experience the true love of God! When death separates us, it feels wrong because it is! Death was not God’s original plan for a relationship. It hurts, it causes pain, it causes grief and sorrow. and it brings great loss! The beauty of understanding God‘s love, and His design for relationship is knowing that it may not have been God‘s original plan, but because God loves us so much he made another plan. A plan that would be a final plan. A plan that would defeat any scheme of the enemy! A plan that would allow us to yes, be separated for a time by death, but then would provide us the opportunity to be in a forever relationship with those that we love who choose Jesus, and best of all with God, himself, the author and perfecter of love!

Death is the great separator. Death drops a curtain of silence between us and those we live! But praise God, it is not final! Death hurts, and it causes us, grief and loss and separation, but because of God and His faithfulness death does not have the final word! I miss my mom, and it’s been hard to put that into words. But I praise God that He has walked beside me through it all every step of the way and because of Him and His great love, I will see my mom again and be with her forever in heaven! 

TRUTH BOMB

Death is the great separator here on earth, but praise God it is not final!

I have missed being with you here on Tuesdays and I look forward to sharing more of God’s truths with you as I have walked through this season. See you next week!
