Please forgive my lack of posting these last few weeks. At the best of times life has been overwhelming, but Yah is good and continues to support me. I am very grateful for the prayers that have been lifted on my behalf. I have experienced much peace and healing, so much that when I cry out to Yahweh, I ask for healing in my heart. I choose to trust Yahweh than to understand why this is happening.
I am emerging slowly from my mourning and grieving for Ricky’s passing, as I start to reintegrate back into the ministry. I know I will never be the same as when he was alive, and I am okay with that. I am still gleaning lessons of how Yahweh has healed me while Ricky was an essential part of my life. I am comfortable with talking about Ricky and memories of him. It actually brings me comfort and joy to know that he is not easily forgotten.
While I do not expect a constant flow of conversation, I sure don’t mind references to him along the way. It was the same with my spiritual dad when he passed in early 2023. He was an amazing spiritual leader and teacher. How do you share his wisdom – and legacy – with people who have never met him? He was the major influence to my faith walk from the start and his encouragement never failed to support me even in his continued absence (because he passed away).
Life has its struggles, conflicts, hurdles, obstacles, misunderstandings, and whatever else you would like to add to the list. It’s okay if you are not okay. It’s okay if you are not productive or if you wonder whether not you can even face the day. Emerging slowly means working through something at your own pace, in your own time.
Talking helps, so does sharing. At the same time, if you want to be alone to deal with it, that’s okay too. You are truly never alone because Yahushua is always with you, even until the end (Matt. 28:20).
May Yahweh continue to bless you as you are a blessing to others. May Yah continually hold you in the palm of His hand, well protected. May Yahweh continue to use you and shine Yahushua through you in this present dark world.
