In the Throne Room

My name is Gigi and I am a Christian...proud and unapologetic. I was a lifelong Catholic - up until a few years ago when the priest sexual abuse scandal hit a bit too close to home. And rocked my very foundation of beliefs. But by the GRACE of my Lord Jesus Christ, I am finding my way back - not to Catholicism, but to my Savior. This is my journey...I would love it if you would share it with me. Sit with me for awhile, won't you...in the Throne Room of the Lord.

I changed it

My cell phone ringtone that is...

After having Third Day's Cry Out to Jesus forever, yesterday I changed to a different song.

The past week has been an emotional one. Missing my Sweet Hubby beyond what I thought possible. My Mom. A furnace that quit working. And so it goes.

I heard this song on the radio the other day and mentally I just said, "yeah."

So here's today's Music Monday song...**remember to scroll down and pause my player before clicking the link**

Homesick ~ Mercy Me

I close my eyes and I see your face...

"I lie awake. I have become like a lonely bird on a housetop." Psalm 102:7

Dawn said...: Oh, Gigi, I am in tears after hearing that song and thinking of you. I can't, because I've not lost my sweet hubby, but I can feel your pain and loss in your song choices. I'm glad you found this one and may it give you peace in the midst of your sadness.; February 2, 2009 at 11:48 AM

The lyrics of a song can touch our hearts and say what we feel inside....you my dear friend have my prayers and love always.; February 2, 2009 at 7:17 PM
Vicki said...: One moment at a time trust in Jesus. I know you do this, Gigi. Even when you feel weak and failing, you are strong and successful in Jesus. I know this doesn't help right now. But in eternity this does matter. Blessings and Prayers,

On July 8, 2008 my Sweet Hubby was hospitalized for what we thought was a bleeding ulcer. On July 10, 2008 he was diagnosed with Stage IV pancreatic cancer with metastases to his liver. Truly a diagnosis no one ever wants to hear...

From the very hour he was diagnosed, we determined that we would continue to place our trust and faith in the Lord and seek to always honor and glorify Him. Yes, even (especially!) in the midst of chaos. One thing that we KNOW for sure is that God is good ALL the time! We are blessed...

**I've been putting off the update to my intro for quite some time now. But delaying it doesn't change the truth...my new reality. On November 9th, 2008, my Sweet Hubby went to be with Jesus. I miss him every minute of every hour of every day. And I will, until I close my eyes for the last time on this earth only to reopen them in Paradise and see His face...and the face of my beloved once again. But for now, I pray to know God's will for me that I might be used to glorify Him.
