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.

Happy Father's Day

Happy Father's Day to my Sweet Hubby and the father of my children.

You are missed so very, very much.

But one thing I know for sure - we were most blessed to have you in our lives.

Jody said...: I would ask for prayer this week as we celebrate the graduation of our third child, one more to go in a few years, she is 9. Anyway, my dad has been a huge help at past graduation parties as well as Justin, and they will both be missing. I want this time to be special for my daughter. My mom-in-love arrives tomorrow with my my and sisters the following day so it will be an emotional time. Thank you for your {(hugs )}. And praying for you too.; June 23, 2009 at 9:15 AM
Tamela's Place said...: Ohh gigi that is such a good picture of your hubby.

He gets to have an up close personal celebration with his Heavenly Father each and every day and one day we will all be able to do that with him. I am soo looking forward to that day, it is harder to wait for some than others but that day is coming. Sometimes i wish the Lord would just grant us a glimpse of our loved ones that have gone on and show a little bit of what they are seeing and thinking about us that are still here, sometimes i think that would give us a little bit more peace and joy while we are left here waiting in this ol world.

Love you gigi; June 23, 2009 at 5:28 PM
Gigi said...: Thank you Tamela...my Sweet Hubby was looking at our grandsons in that picture. Can't you just see the love shining in his eyes? What I wouldn't give to gaze into those eyes just one more time...yes, a glimpse at Paradise would be nice, wouldn't it?; June 23, 2009 at 5:35 PM

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.
