Well here I am on day one of year two as the next chapter in my life begins. Thankful and blessed to have completed my first year without Ken, my first year as a widow, my first year learning and experiencing more about myself and trusting in God’s plan for my life and future.
I trust the next chapter because I know the author.
This profound statement on a simple wall hanging caught my eye this last week while shopping with my dear friend. It now hangs over my desk as a constant reminder To TRUST my Heavenly Father with this and every new chapter in my life.
I have so much more to say about this past year (never being short on words as you know). However I feel compelled that even with the deep sorrow and grief I have been experiencing and how much I miss Ken as well as how difficult it has been to see my children and grandchildren living life without their papa and dad that this post today needs to focus on looking forward and trusting in God with today and all my tomorrows.
That’s it for today. I pray that you are doing well in whatever chapter you are living in at this moment.
May God bless you and encourage you today.
“Trust in the lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding in all your ways acknowledge him and he will make your paths straight“ Proverbs 3:5,6

Pati, I’m constantly amazed with your strengths and character… that in the days of your deepest sorrow, you are still present, giving us your loving and encouraging words. I pray that you are sleeping well, that Gods angels are watching over you as you go through your nights and days… and know that many of us who love you are thinking and praying over you❤️❤️❤️
