For the Journey - Steve Bell
In my heart there's
A sadness building up
And every turn adds to the cup
As the losses match
The measure of my gains
In the shadow of this curse
Where the best implies the worst
If you're like me you need to hear somebody pray...
May the Lord bless and keep you
May His face shine upon you
May His graciousness
Be like the endless stream
May the Lord show His favour
To your house and your neighbour
Until the last remaining
Strains of striving cease
May He grant you peace

Hey Rose,
love you and miss you :) sending you a big hug.
what a sweet picture of you two. Still thinking and praying for you Rosanna. I pray that you will continue to find comfort and strength in Him.

That is such a great picture of you two. May your heart be warmed of the many wonderful memories you have with Nate.
That is such a beautiful picture of you and Nate, and one I am sure you will treasure always. When I read your blog Rosanna, I am moved by your openess and honesty. You are not afraid to let us know the pain in your heart. God will use you one day to minister to many whose hearts are torn and hurting. I pray that Jesus would meet your every need, that He would give you the oil of joy for mourning, and a garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness that yo carry. You are an incredible woman of faith. Love Kathy( Jamie's mom)
May the Lord bless and keep you. May he grant you peace.
You are constantly in my thoughts and prayers. I love you!
that is a prayer/blessing i pray over my kids every night. after my firstborn son died unexpectedly in his sleep, i had a new understanding of just how little i am in control. i, too am hanging on hard to Jesus' promise that he will come back and make things whole, and that he has not left us here alone.
rosanna, we don't know each other but thank-you for being vulnerable in your grief. there is something so beautiful about that.

Praying for God's peace to wash over you today. You are so amazing.
May you know that with each day your heartache is touching the lives of many....my prayer for you continues to be... may you find strength in this time of weakness...for when we are weak HE is strong!
just wishing i could give you a HUG in person today.
I love you Rose, glad we could finally talk! Want to see you so much!
Jesus please uphold Rosanna, especially in the ways we humanly cannot do.
Hey Rose- thinking of you so much right now. Your life is a sacrifice to our Lord. It is a beautiful sacrifice. "Did e're such love and sorrow meet? Or thornes compose so rich a crown" He understands sacrifice. He knows it demands your soul, your life, your all. He knows. And His love so amazing, so divine will carry you. I love you and miss you girl.

What a great picture of the two of you! May you cling to the happiness and joys you and Nate shared as husband and wife. Praying for you always!
Praying for the peace that passes all understanding to surround you today.
Trust in the Lord with all your heart;do not depend on your own understanding. Seek his will in all you do,and he will show you which path to take.
As I was doing my devotions this morning this verse came to me and reminded me of you. Rosanna, you are trusting in God with all of the pieces of your broken heart and it still doesn't make sense, it is completely beyond (y)our understanding. Yet the promise is that He WILL show you which path to take. I pray that you can continue to rest in HIM.
Thanks you for sharing with us. You are always in our prayers.
Safe in the arms of Jesus!!
May God hold you [Roseanna]close

Continuing to pray for you Rosanna!
I can see the peace in your eyes in that picture, Rosanna - in both of you. It gives the feeling of complete contentment. Now, when I know that peace is hard to find, I also pray for you HOPE, then even when you don't have peace, you have hope that one day you will find it.
Love you, my friend.

So I'm trying a new routine of getting up early before the rest of my household wakes up and we have to all get going for the day and go for a run. Yuk, I know but this morning as I was doing the walking portion of the run to catch my breath :) I looked up and saw your favorite moon. God's thumb nail. I thought of you and missed you and prayed that God would wrap his comfort all around you. I love you and miss you so much.
I am praying that peace for you so much Rosanna. I saw someone that looked like Nate's mom the other day and it made me pray for you that much harder. I love you Rosanna.
Praying that you had a restful sleep last night, protected by the one who NEVER sleeps.
God loves you. I love you.
Kari
I love you Rosanna... I'm comming Home soon. I'll be there for you
Hi Rosanna, I wanted to let you know that for the past three days I have had you on my heart and that I am praying for you. I love you so much, if you need anything let me know.

Rosanna, your blog has effected me in an enormous way. Not your blog really, you. The way you handle grief and such a huge loss. You have inspired me. You have caused me to count my blessings. You have reflected Jesus to me. He is using your testimony in such a powerful way. What an example you are to the rest of us. May God grant you a double portion of blessing for what he has taken. I don't really know you except for seeing you around at MEI but I will never forget you and your willingness to let God direct your life.
