FACE TO FACE...
I miss my mom. This is something I am getting better and better at dealing with. The pain can still be unbearable at times but I soon put things back into perspective and realize God always has a greater plan. During her memorial service I sang one of her favorite songs as a tribute. The song is called Face to Face and was written by the former music director of Grace Fellowship Church. These are the words:
Face to face with you, in your love and mercy
sheltered by your glory, as I stand face to face with you
amazing grace surrounds me, songs of praise stir within me
I lift my hands in praise sin no longer holds me,
captured by your grace I stand before you holy,
thankful for your love oh the joy of sweet communion,
there will always be within my heart a song of love
as I stand face to face.
As I sing this song, which right now is something I do daily it gives me such an amazing amount of peace. I know I can have this face to face encounter with God everyday here on earth if I want it and of course mom is face to face with her creator and having it daily in a way I cannot even comprehend. Being close to God makes me feel closer to her and that is all the strength I need to continue to walk this road.
