My beautiful brother in Christ and very dear friend Steve, husband to Kristy, has gone to be with our Father in Heaven.
We're called to be '.......patient in affliction, faithful in prayer. Share with God's people who are in need..Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn' (Romans 12: 12-13, 15). It is our duty now to surround Steve and Kristy's families with God's love and light, to be His people in their time of need. I rejoice in knowing Steve is Home, but my heart breaks for Kristy and their families.
I keep thinking of the Casting Crows song 'Praise You in This Storm', but I can't help but wonder - how does the world continue to turn when your world has been completely turned upside down?
See ya, Stevie, I'm going to miss you mate.

I am sorry. I pray God gives you peace in these difficult times.
you're right: how can the world continue to turn when it's been turned upside down...
Praying...all the way from Texas.
Hi Ali,
we didnt get to talk yesterday, but Im saving a hug 4 u.
Thankyou for your posts too, u manage to say what I cant express.
Hope u are managing each step ok.
Thank you for your post on my blog. I just read this and will be praying for your dear friend and his wife, and for you as you work your way through the grief.
Grieving is hard work--don't be surprised if you feel disoriented and exhausted and out of sorts for a long time to come. My friend Rachel continues to be a great teacher to me. She is now newly married to a good man, but she tells me the grief takes time, so much time, and she can't have it on her one terms. It kind of has a life of its own, even two years after the fact.
May Steve's memory be Eternal!
