I cry to You, O Lord: I say, "You are my refuge, my portion in the land of the living. Listen to my cry, for I am in desperate need."
Psalm 142:3,5&6
Be Near - Shane Barnard
You are all big and small
Beautiful and wonderful
To trust in grace through faith
But I'm asking to taste...
Your fullness is mine
Revelation divine
But, o, to taste
To know much more than a page
To feel Your embrace...
For dark is light to You
Depths are height to You
Far is near, but Lord
I need to hear from You
Be near, oh God
Be near, oh God of us
Your nearness is to us our good
"The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel" - which means, "God with us."
Matthew 1:23
Yet I am always with You; You hold me by my right hand. You guide me with Your counsel, and afterward You will take me into glory. My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever. ...It is good to be near God. I have made the Sovereign Lord my refuge.
Psalm 73:25-28

Hi Rosanna! Praying and thinking of you often in these days! I love you lots! Estoy feliz que voy a verte y abrazarte en solo un mes!
love you lots!
This comes with a very meaningful meaning when I say "Have a Merry Christmas and a blessed new year"!
Hi beautiful, I love you so much. He is our STRENGTH and PORTION- when there is nothing that satisfies our souls, He does. When there is nothing that finds meaning, He is. I miss you sweetie, you're warm, tender heart. You are so loved!!

Rosanna, you don't know me but we have some mutual friends. As I've been following your blog I've prayed that God would show you how to approach this unexpected, and unwanted, Christmas. I don't know if there will be celebrating this year or not, but I pray that you would feel God drawing close to you and I pray that you would be able to draw in tight to Him -- even as you already are.
1 Sam 7:12 says, "God has helped us this far." I pray that He would continue to help you as you step into 2008.
Thinking and praying for you lots this Christmas season ...
Many thoughts and prayers for you this Christmas Rosanna.

Rosanna,
I have thought of you often during the past while, especially as I ran past your place on so many mornings during the summer. Now as Christmas nears, my thoughts go to you again and this season which undoubtedly could be difficult.
Just so you know, you are in my prayers & I wish you a Christmas where you remember, experience joy, and feel the Lord's arms wrapped around you.
You are His treasure!

rosanna, im thinking of you and praying for you this christmas...you are so loved! Even though God's gift of Jesus on Christmas is overshadowed by sorrow this christmas, his power that is demonstrated through christmas, and the promises he has made remain the same. Even though life takes us through ups and downs and unexpected twists and turns, God does not change, and we can cling to that truth when there seems to be no other truth left.
Thanks for this. I am always looking for blogs that inspire as I try to do the same.

Love you!
You continue to be much in our thoughts and prayers - especially during this "family" time. We know that it hasn't been a "merry" Christmas - your first without Nathan but we trust that as you spend quality time together as a family, that continued healing is taking place.
We love you. We are also praying that your upcoming trip will go well.

Love and peace to you, Rosanna. Lynette
you were the first thing on my mind this morning as i headed to work....the first song that came on my radio this morning was "Just a dream" by Carrie Underwood (yes, i'm a country fan - don't tell anyone). i took it as a hint that i was supposed to pray for you today - so i already have, and will continue to today...not sure what today has in store for you, but i hope you are blessed, comforted, protected & that someone is able to put a big smile on your face. HUGS!
I was glad to see you the other week. I've been thinking and praying for you a lot.
Hi Rosanna. You dont know me, but i am a friend of Jamie's, and I check/read your blog all the time!! I think of you often, and my heart aches for you. You and Nate seemed to have a BIG LOVE for each other, and for JESUS, and as someone else commented, more than most people have in a lifetime. You are beautiful, and you are loved!!!
Hi Rosanna.
I have been thinking of you lots during this holiday season...how hard it would be to not have your husband with you. I hope that you were able to have some good times. I will continue to offer my heart aches and tears to Jesus on your behalf. Hang in there, beautiful. And may our Lord continue to give you strength, hope and whisper is overwhelming love for you in your ear.
