Lord, You have searched me and know me.
You are familiar with all my ways.
You hem me in - before and behind.
Your hand will guide me, Your right hand holds me fast.
The night will shine like the day, for darkness is as light to You.
When I awake, I am still with You.
Lead me in the way everlasting.
Psalm 139
- Rosanna Toews
- My experience with death is what I imagine an earthquake feels like. The devastating debris was unfamiliar and detested. Within it all, God has been faithful.

We love you, Rosanna.
We have been thinking of you a lot this month. You have been in our thoughts and prayers a lot.
Love you lots!
You have been in my thoughts, my prayers, my dreams...
You have chosen to put such a comforting verse up today, and I pray that comfort for you. Love you.
Rosanna,
know that you are loved. I keep praying that God would give you His peace that only He can give.
Christa G.
Rosanna,
A few weeks ago God gave me Psalm 13 as a promise for a few things. I will trust in Him through it all.
How long, O LORD? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me? How long must I wrestle with my thoughts and every day have sorrow in my heart? How long will my enemy triumph over me?
Look on me and answer, O LORD my God. Give light to my eyes, or I will sleep in death; my enemy will say, "I have overcome him," and my foes will rejoice when I fall.
But I trust in your unfailing love; my heart rejoices in your salvation. I will sing to the LORD, for he has been good to me.
I love you and I'm praying for you constantly.

Hi Rosanna,
I just lost my partner a month ago. We were together for ten years, and now I'm 33. And I read your blog because it describes the pain, loss, and difficulty in getting through each day that I feel. I notice you find some comfort in music and lyrics. I've been listening to Rosie Thomas's song "You and me" lately. Here are the lyrics:
You and me, me and you
There’s so much that we’ve been through,
through it all I’ve come to understand Gods love.
And if tomorrow never comes
know this twice, just know this once.
Knowing you has made me able to go on.
You and me, me and you
There couldn’t be a better two,
to be blessed and know the meaning of true love.
And if you leave me I feel scared,
fall apart so unprepared.
But I dare to make it through all on my own.
Yes I dare to make it through on my own.
(I'm not really sure I can sing the last two lines but I expect to be able to one day--mostly because I have no choice.)
Dear Anonymous,
I am so sorry for your loss. Words fail me.
Thank you for your comment and for sharing this song with me. I found Rosie Thomas on iTunes. Her voice is beautiful. I envy her ability to put words to her 'heart'. Thanks again for sharing this song.
I still feel scared and unprepared. Knowing I can't and won't make it on my own. May God's constant love and promised presence saturate your hated reality.
Rosanna
