That Place...

Before I get started on my post for today, I want to give you the link to my giveaway that you can still register for until this upcoming Friday. I was going to not post all week so as to leave the page open for all to leave a comment and get a chance to win, but because I am but human, I immediately started being bombarded with 2,398,523 things to post about! All of them notoriously entertaining and informative too. (Of course!) I have withheld myself long enough and now post I must....


So today I really want to share with you about the 'That Place' in my life.



A friend of mine that heads the Habitat For Hope foundation recently sent me a message requesting I do a guest post on their blog. She asks that we share about our experience of the life and/or passing of our cancer children and how God helps us through it. We met at St. Jude’s years ago and have been friends since, here’s that story in her words: Story



I agreed and now I will be taking a trip to my ‘That Place’, on purpose. Swinging wide the gate and just marching straight there with a purpose in my heart .

There are times when a song (or something) will trigger a memory...

And I find myself in ‘That Place’

Or I will have a wonderful dream about my Briana, and I wake up in ‘That Place’.




My ‘That Place’ isn’t all that bad, as I have mentioned before…I L.O.V.E. to remember her mostly because it reminds me that she was real and she had a great personality. Even so, there is always a bittersweet aftertaste every time I am there.

The other good thing about ‘That Place’ is that I know my Jesus is waiting for me smack dab in the middle of there. He has this uncanny way of adjusting my eyes, so I can remember there is more to this that just what is at the end of my nose. I forget a lot these days….




I am so glad He is not as shallow as I tend to be.



Do you have a ‘That Place’ too?
