Sometimes when we would turn onto our street as we were coming home Nate would start humming and singing a song by Steve Bell. I thought of it tonight as I drove home.

Home is anywhere he leads me
Home is where I wanna be
Home is where I'll live with Jesus
Be at home eternally

I miss sharing an earthly home with Nate.

"I waited patiently for the Lord to help me,
and he turned to me and heard my cry.
He lifted me out of the pit of despair,
out of the mud and mire.
He set my feet on solid ground
and steadied me as I walked along.
He has given me a new song to sing, a hymn of praise to our God.
Many will see what he has done and be amazed.
They will put their trust in the Lord. . .
Lord don't hold back your tender mercies from me.
Let your unfailing love and faithfulness always protect me."
Psalm 40:1-5, 11

Thankyou for sharing your journey with us Rosanna. You are always in our prayers.

Rosanna,
I saw you in church today and smiled at you and I just felt so silly after that because I didn't know what to say. Nobody knows how you feel inside or anything your going through except for our Lord Jesus Christ. I just want to say again you are an amazing woman of God and your faithfulness is an inspiration to me and so many others. I am continuing to pray for you and your entire family. Just know that you are loved by so many people and God loves you and will never forsake you. Sincerely Carly

Music must bring you some measure of comfort, Rosanna. It seems as if music is important to you, and was to Nathan as well. Your strength to go on is inspiring. I pray that the memories that come to you at random times and the songs you hear bring you one step further along towards healing.

Rosanna,
You don't know me, but I am a friend of Andrea's from Calgary. I've heard many wonderful stories about you from her. I have followed your blog for a while, because there is a link to it from Andrea's, and I was brought to tears when I saw that your husband had passed away. It is strange to think that my heart could be so broken for you, because I don't really know you, but it is. I pray for you continuously, and I'm glad that you have friends as wonderful as Andrea to be there for you.
