I...I'm sorry you weren't feeling well dear. I still haven't processed the loss of Cory. It doesn't seem possible or real that someone who brought people so much joy is gone. But I do believe we leave the best of us behind. Your niece is adorable. Thanks for sharing her with us! As far as my journey goes, I feel elevated and sometimes still underwater. So I guess that means I'm still learning and growing. Thank God for that. Hugs!

And thank you to you for opening yourself to accepting these gifts! Sometimes, we don't want what is in store for us and resist it. I think this is just the beginning of many more good things to come your way. <br /><br />In addition to all the positive external things that are happening, your inner growth, strength and wisdom is a true gift. <br /><br />Congrats and love the Audrey pic of course!

He gave me so much peace even while I was waiting for His answers. He was glorified even more after that... because I learned to wait for Him...<br /><br />Many were speculating that the cause of his death was due to drugs...but what if, just what if, it was really his time to go? We continue to pray for his soul...<br /><br />I wish you peace Irene and thank you for sharing this journey with me.<br /><br />Lots of love always!Melissa Tandochttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13747825707650125721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3184114759745143076.post-47173704994260193532013-07-16T21:38:06.102+08:002013-07-16T21:38:06.102+08:00Thank you so much Leah ~ I am and I claim it.

I can't even look at articles about his death in the internet without feeling so heartbroken. I was supposed to write a post about it but I just couldn't.
