It’s just like You to bring light into darkness
It’s just like You, Lord its just like You
It’s just like You to bring beauty to ashes
It’s just like You, Lord its just like You
I’ve been trying my whole life to be good without the cross
When all that I have gained is this emptiness and loss
It’s just like You to bring life to these dry bones
It’s just like You, Lord its just like You
It’s just like You to bring beauty to ashes
It’s just like You, Lord its just like You
It’s just like You to bring light into darkness
It’s just like You, Lord its just like You

I felt a bit like a goof today. I was listening to the radio and started thinking about Amy and how much I missed her and just started weaping as I drove into Harker Heights. Thank goodness for sunglasses. I was heading to the post office and had to sit and pull myself together before I walked in. Oh well. Let them see me cry — and if they laugh, I’ll punch em in the face. Ha. As of last Sunday (the 21st), it’s been five months since Amy’s homegoing. It seems a lot longer than that somedays and other days it feels like it was just yesterday we laid her to rest.
But God is good, faithful and will continue to bring light into darkness, beauty to ashes and life to dry bones.
I miss her too. I don’t think she ever knew how much she meant to me.
We’ll I guess we should leave our radios off. I had the same experience on the way to work. They began to play “Dancing with the Angels”, and of course that always makes me think of Amy and how very much I miss her and so the tears just started flowing and I kept thinking, “I’m almost there. I’ve got to go in with a smile on my face. I’ve got to stop crying.” I wonder how many times in the last 5 months I have put a smile on my face, and no one knew how much my heart was breaking. I suppose you will have moments like this morning again. How could you keep from them. You loved her so much and she loved you so deeply, too. Our loss is so great.
