Here I Go Again on My Own…
These lyrics rang through my head and on to my lips as I was rolling my luggage to get loaded to go back to the airport, and as soon as they rolled off my tongue and just as soon as they rolled off my tongue the tears began to flow.
Many of you know I lost my husband in April of this year. If you are unfamiliar with our sudden loss of Quintin, you can read about it here. Our children and I are grieving every single day, but even in the midst of such grief, I am in awe of how my children have shown their love and excitement for me. I regularly find myself thinking they are each like their dad in their own way, and I love seeing him in each of them!

Continued: Here I Go Again on My Own…
Just got to airport to travel back home from my widows retreat… oh my tired eyes tell
The story of exhaustion to full hope… pretty sure I have aged 50 years this past year grief has a way of affecting every of your being!! I still ask how in the world I am here… and this picture speaks those exact words of mystery.
❤️🩹I have so much to share …
Connections, God Winks & Q winks too and provision about my future and my children. I am unpacking so much and I feel all the feels as we
head into the one year 💔❤️🩹
BUT GOD!!
The last 3 days with these incredible women was beyond amazing in so many ways.
As I walked away from the serene lodge where they so graciously cared for us… an 80s rocker ballad “Here I Go Again” popped into my head (I know right 🤣) but it was so sweet… and tears 😭 rolled down uncontrollably
For those of you who are already singing…here are the lyrics…
🎶 No I don't know where I'm going
But, I sure know where I've been
Hanging on the promises
In songs of yesterday
And I've made up my mind
I ain't wasting no more time
Though I keep searching for an answer
I never seem to find what I'm looking for
Oh Lord, I pray, you give me strength to carry on
‘Cause I know what it means
To walk along the lonely street of dreams
And here I go again on my own
Going down the only road I've ever known
Like a drifter I was born to walk alone
And I've made up my mind
I ain't wasting no more time 🎶
I have had that song on repeat ever since I have left…and it has been stuck in my head ever since and I imagine after reading through the lyrics it might just be stuck in yours too, so you are welcome 😉
Weird how a random song can pop in your head yet minster your heart in so many ways. Q and I always connected with one another through cheesy lyrics especially to encourage one another through hard times so I know it was him ❤️🩹
As we head into the anniversary of Q and Resurrection day of Jesus Christ my savior I am reminded yet again A LOT can happen in 3 Days! Thank you to my sweet daughter for designing me a tangible cozy crew to remind me of this ✝️💗 the only way you see a smile coming back to my face today is because of HIS resurrection hope!
If you are wanting one of these super cozy soft crewnecks, there are a few left for you to grab just in time for Easter Resurrection Day. You can grab yours HERE!
I know I am NEVER ALONE as HE is with me every step along the way…even though most days I feel alone, I have decided to PROCLAIM HIS companionship and presence over my life!
So grateful for my yesterday’s… BUT GOD IS MOVING ON MIGHTY ways! I FEEL IT!
As the lyrics say….
🎶 ain't wasting no more time 🎶 – this is my anthem that I may not know what my tomorrow holds, but I know WHO HOLDS my tomorrow! I am fully surrendering to His path for my life.
Don't forget to grab your “A Lot Can Happen in 3 Days” crewneck before they are gone – HERE
