I decided to take the challenge of writing every single day during the month of March. (yikes!) I'm very nervous about slicing, but I'm going to plunge ahead!!! This is my first slice.
Driving to work is one of my favorite parts of the day ~ a quiet time that is usually spent with just God ~ praying ~ thinking ~ singing ~ admiring God’s marvelous beauty.
This morning however, things were different. For the first time since my mother died, I drove her car. My mind was full of scattered thoughts from a mixture of events that occurred this week. I was having a moment of questioning God ~ wondering why he would take an unborn baby from his mom and the family that was eagerly awaiting her arrival. Tears were beginning to flow as I grieved for the family and their precious baby girl.
My thoughts drifted to my mom and how much I truly miss her. I began to realize that there was music playing softly on the radio. When I realized the song that was playing I began to weep uncontrollably. The song ~ “I Can Only Imagine” ~ one of the songs that was played at my mom’s funeral. I began to realize that God through his grace and mercy was giving me comfort through that song.

I can only imagine
What it will be like
When I walk
By your side ...
