    • About Me

      I am a widow. I don't like that word at all. I loved being a wife. Life starts again for me, one day at a time. I have 2 kids, one married with a wife and daughter and one in high school still.

      I love the outdoors. I do scrapbooking, sewing, and other crafty stuff. A lot of my activities have changed since my husband has been sick.

      From rebeljen January 12, 2008

      A FRIEND SENT THIS TO ME AND I JUST WANTED TO SHARE IT WITH YOU. HOPE YOU ENJOY IT. LOVE, JEN Alone There are times when I'm so lonely I can't handle what I'm going through. It's as if I'm in a valley Asking what am I going to do? I feel so lost and so alone, And my heart can't take the pain. I don't know why this is happening... That reason's just not plain. So I asked the Lord to answer me and He spoke out loud and clear; "The reason a valley is what it is Is because there's a mountain near"! "When you feel like you can't see Me, It's not because I don't care. Your eyes aren't fixed on the other side. If you looked you'd see Me there"! "I'm always there, I'm right beside you. And I'll never let you down. Man's words and actions vacillate, But My foundation is always sound"! "Rest your life in My Hands always, And I'll bless you all the while. Although I allow those wilderness times, I'm always with you Child"! "I was, I am, and will always be, Right there when you call My Name. Just wrap your life around My Word, And great comfort you will gain"! I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you. John 14:18 WE ALL GO THROUGHT TOUGH TIMES BUT GOD IS WITH US THROUGH IT ALL. REMAIN STRONG AND BELIEVE IN GOD AND HE WILL NOT LEAVE YOU.

      From rebeljen September 1, 2007

      Thanks for the email. It means a lot to know what I say has value and makes sense because sometimes I wonder if I'm just crazy and the only one that feels these things. If I helped one person than it is worth it to write. At my husbands service I played I can only imagine by mercy me and for the first month after I played it every night. And I cried with it every night. It was one of his favorites. There will be many songs that will trigger you to cry now. I have even heard country songs that made me cry and my husband didn't even listen to country music. But when you feel like crying, and you can like when you're sitting in your car somewhere, do it. It does help you to overcome some of your grief, if only for a time. If we supress our emotions they can become dangerous time bombs in our own lives. Know that I am thinking about you and praying for you. And keep listening to Third Day!!! Their sone TUNNEL has been such a strong song of hope for me and I hope it will be for you too!!! It is nice to think that somewhere there's a light at the end of this situation too. Good Luck!!! Jenifer
