April 22


I can’t go on now
without you beside me
I feel like God isn’t even there
like He promised he would be 
I can’t do anything
I want you here
mom, right now
I don’t think that even God is near
how am I supposed to go to school
how am I supposed to carry on? 
God, if you're out there
please, please, help this pain be gone.

  1. Ashley - you and I are traveling the same road but at different stages in our lives. I too, lost my Mom to cancer. It sucks and hurts. There are days that I too feel all alone. A mother's love and presence is something that can never be replaced or forgotten.
    When I am feeling this way I always remember what my Mom always said "Fear not tomorrow ... God is already there" When I feel that there is no way I can make it I remember these words and know that God is going to be there with me.
    Our loving Father created us to have feelings and emotions and all He asks is that when we feel like we are slipping that we simply extend out our hand and He will hold on tight. We need to invite HIM into those moments!!
    Praying for you daily!!
    You are a strong young lady and believe it or not you have helped me get through the loss of my Mom.

  2. Oh Ashley, it must be so hard to watch as it seems the world just keeps rushing by when it feels your world is broken. Please know that you and your family are being prayed over by so many who love you. Keep talking to God. Give Him your pain and your anger. He promises to give you peace and hope in our resurrected Savior. Even Jesus had dark days while here on earth. This life is not always easy and sometimes, that pain may feel like too much to bear. My heartfelt prayer is that, while it seems God is silent, you'll soon feel His loving arms enfolding you and carrying you. Thank you for your honesty. Yours in earnest prayer, Miska
