Another summer day has come and gone away
...but I wanna go home
I just wanna go home - Michael Buble

Created for a place I've never known
I've got my heart set on what happens next
I've got my eyes wide, it's not over yet - Switchfoot

To see the Lord, the promise land
That I might see His face and hear Him say,
'Son, welcome home, the war is over' - Shane & Shane

When I finally make it home
When I finally see You face to face
And my tears will fly away - Mercy Me

Lord, sustain me with Your voice
and the choice to walk in truth - Shane & Shane

Heal my heart and make it clean
Open up my eyes to the things unseen
Show me how to love like You have loved me
Break my heart for what breaks Yours
Everything I am for Your kingdom's cause
As I walk from earth into eternity - Hillsong United

This one hit me hard. Picturing you having fun at the family gathering but knowing all the while you long for something more. Something I don't fault you for one little bit. I love you Rosanna - you're precious to me.

I can't imagine. I seriously can't imagine. As hard as I try... I can't imagine. God must be ever so close to you right now. Praying for strength to sustain you.

Hi there, I linked to your blog via 'runningwildly'. But I just wanted to say how deeply challenged I am by your story and then how you continue to reach out to God in your brokeness. I can't imagine either... I just pray that He will bring you so deep and close to Himself. Thank you for writing... you have an incredibly beautiful and soft heart. For what it's worth, please know that you are encouraging other believers to walk with a rock solid faith and a hope that does endure anything. You are living that. Thank you.--Amber

Rosanna, I too read your blog via our dear friend Kirsten's blog. I just want to echo what "anonymous" above said. I am often encouraged & feel renewed after reading your postings, & you are encouraging at least me, but I think many other brothers & sisters in Christ, with your testimony. I don't know if Kiks has shared with you about my story, & although it is very different from yours, it is one filled with grief & longing as well. Thank-you for articulating your thoughts so well; they often echo my own.

Thinking of you on this summer's day. I can only imagine how your heart aches for home. May each tomorrow bring more hope for you Rosanna.

Hey Rosanna,
You came to mind today as I was driving and just wanted to let you know I prayed for you. I prayed that your tender and broken heart would be filled with hope and courage to face each day afresh. You are loved!

Charlotte said...

Hi Rose, wishing I could be near enough to give you a great big hug. I love you and miss you! Praying you'll feel God's nearness to you today.

Dianna said...

On a much lighter note..
Keep checking for exciting news this upcoming Monday. I'm scheduled for induction late Monday evening. Your prayers would also be appreciated.

Rob and Krista said...

Rosanna, it was such a surprise to see you the other day at Wal-Mart and such a treat to see your beautiful smile.
Blessings!

Rosanne: I hope and pray that through God's grace and mercy your burden is easing, and I pray that the Lord will continue to offer to carry that load, and continue to offer to you the love of friends and strangers to help ease your pain through their prayers.

hi Rosanna, I really "looked" for you online - and you really have a blog here. Dr. Toews taught me for a few session in one of my course, and we knew about Nathan and the accident last year. I thought about you, so I decided to google you. I wish to tell you that, even if you don't know me, I have been praying for you since last year. It must be tough for you. May God's grace to be with you esp. in your journey of recovery. Marian
