Failed the test

Hurricane Sandy hit us Monday night. I have to say it was one of the scariest nights of my life. Wind wiping… trees falling all around us…power out for 24 hours. The dogs were a pack of scaredy cats and I was no better.  In fact I just lost it at one point and said some pretty harsh things to God which I had to ask him to forgive me for when I came back to my right mind.  “I told him “I thought you’re my husband now? Well Richard did a better job than this!” I know what a horrible thing to say to such a good God. I feel like a heel.  L  Then the power came back on and I started seeing what happened in NY and NJ and all up and down the east coast and I really felt like a heel. I just sat in front of my tv and cried. Cried for the people who lost everything...cried at the unbelievable destruction. Cried because I miss my Richard so bad and I hate life without him! We really never know what’s in us till we go through the test :/ 
I failed so miserably.  
My heart and prayers go out to all who were affected so profoundly by this storm.
A few weeks before Richard went home to the Lord I went to Ocean Grove NJ. The next two pictures I took when I was there... take note of the pier and fishing shack off in the distance. 

The next few pictures I took off the internet of the same pier after Sandy...

Again, one of my photos...
...and after Sandy

Sigh...
Sorry todays blog is so gloomy.
I know in my head I will be happy again someday.
But right now my heart just don't feel it.
I just feel very sad :(

  2. I agree with Jo. You're way too hard on yourself. HE never gives us more than we can handle! I know that deep in your heart, you too believe that. Reach deep down and you'll see just how strong you REALLY are! You can do it girlfriend because we have faith in you and faith that God is watching over you.

    Hugs,
    Kim
