Losing my Mom has been one of the toughest struggles in my life, aside from my Navy days. Since her passing, I have noticed how much a part of me she has become. I find that I am making a lot of similar jokes by messing around with word usage and sentence structures, and my love for animals has been increasing more and more by the day. I'm not saying that missing her is easy, because it's not. However, what helps me a lot is to remember the positive and funny parts of Mom every day, and to celebrate her life. In addition to all of this and more importantly, what really keeps me going is my faith in Jesus. 2 Corinthians 3 vs 4 and 5 states, "Such confidence we have in God through Christ Jesus; not that we are adequate to consider anything as coming from ourselves, but our adequacy is from God." This is my lifetime verse, as well as the one that says, "Trust in The Lord with all your heart, AND LEAN NOT ON YOUR OWN UNDERSTANDING. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will direct your paths. Do not be wise in your own eyes; Fear the Lord and depart from evil." Proverbs 3 vs. 5-8
