Life After Loss : A Year In Review: My Dad Passed Away

Published 2019-12-23
Has it really been a year since my daddy passed away? My life this year has forever been changed and I want to share that with you.

I felt compelled several weeks ago to do this video today. I was hesitant all day today but finally decided to get it done. Now that’s it’s finished I’m hesitant to even post it but I’m trusting in the Lord and trying to be obedient to what I feel he’s calling me to do. Walking in obedience takes boldness and that only comes from the Lord because in my flesh boldness doesn’t come easy.


(Here are the verses I reference in the video)

“Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old they will not turn from it.”
‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭22:6‬ ‭

“Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says. Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like someone who looks at his face in a mirror and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like. But whoever looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues in it—not forgetting what they have heard, but doing it—they will be blessed in what they do.”
‭‭James‬ ‭1:22-25‬ ‭

    Watching this right now sobbing. Right now I'm what you were. I believe in Jesus, and that he died for me. I go to church , but I don't remember the last time I actually read my Bible. I do pretty much listen to worship music, but I very rarely pray. I don't necessarily believe I'm going to hell, but I'm not living for him like I should. Thank you so much for making this video, I watched every minute.♥️ I'm so sorry you lost your dad, but I'm happy he found Jesus! Thank you for the prayers.
