If you haven't heard the Matthew West Song "Strong Enough", you should go here and give it a listen. I have it on my ITunes and listen to it daily! The basis of the song is that we don't have to be strong in hard situations. We serve an amazing God who is strong enough for all of us. All it takes is our faith in him that he can carry us through tough situations in life. We have to learn to rely on him and not our own strength. How simple does that sound?? And yet sometimes it is so hard...
This past weekend we said "Farewell for now" to my Grandma. (Not goodbye, bc we know that we will meet again in Heaven!) The funeral was a great tribute to her life. The grandsons read memories from family members and there was a nice slideshow at the end.
The funeral home said it was the largest funeral that had been held there. What a great testimony to the many lives she touched! I never do well at funerals and just have a hard time with the whole "grieving" process; but somehow by the end, I was okay... I had literally prayed all week that God would give me a peace and be "strong enough" for me during what I knew would be a hard day. He is true to his promises :)

Rest in Peace Sweet Grandma! We will meet again!
