three days of this free fall

"The Lord is close to the brokenhearted

    and saves those who are crushed in spirit."

Thanksgiving
Thirteen weeks
Three months

That is what is on my mind 
after a night of dreams
and a morning of a racing/pounding heart.

This
is life
without Bill.

This
is 
hard.

I am working my way through Colossians.

Todays reading concisely details

how I am going to continue to heal, indeed, to live:

"Continue steadfastly in prayer, 

being watchful in it with thanksgiving. 

At the same time, pray also for us..."

Colossians 4:2-3

I will continue to pray steadfastly.
About everything.
Never giving up.

I will be watchful in prayer
asking God to open my eyes
to see things to be thankful for.

I am mindful that I am not the only one grieving.
I will ask God to keep me aware.
I will pray for others.

It would be easy
to concentrate solely on my own hurt
but it would not be healthy.

I will continue to covet the prayers of others for me and my family.
I thank God for the incredible support system He has provided for me. 
I will continue to thank God I am not in this "free fall" on my own.

"Seek the Lord and His strength; 

seek His presence continually!"

Psalm 105:4
