The most common problem in a grief situation is not the behavior of the bereaved, but the response of their friend’s to their grief stricken behavior! Follow me at www.findinghisfavor.com
DON’T ADD INSULT TO INJURY! (Part 1)
We live in a society that prides itself on being so advanced, and yet is embarrassingly still in the dark ages, when it comes to grief! I made a commitment for the new year to read through the Bible chronologically, and I just finished the book of Job. If you’re not familiar with Job, then […]
Do you want the Good News or the Bad News?
I am one of those people who if you asked me, “Do you want to hear the good news first, or the bad news?”. I would always choose the bad news, because I figure if I can survive the bad news, then anything else doesn’t matter. However, sometimes you can become so conditioned to hearing […]
Working through unexpected Grief at the Master’s feet!
The date on the calendar means nothing until it becomes time stamped by an impact to your heart, and then you’ll never forget it!
November 9, 2018, I kissed my best friend since I was 12, and husband of 35 years, Joe Weaver’s lips for the last time as he took his final breath here on Earth.
Don’t let what society doesn’t know dictate your grief journey.
There is not one area of my life (Physically, Emotionally, Spiritually, Relationally, Financially, Professionally, etc.) that hasn’t been affected by grief! I would dare say that as advanced as we think we are in today’s society, the majority of people are living in the dark ages about grief.

You can’t! This is why the Apostle Paul encourages us […]
How to Survive The Second Send-Off
I remember when I was pregnant with our first child. I would lay in bed as I felt her body move inside me, and wonder what kind of a child she would grow up to be, and worry what kind of a mom I would be. After all, they don’t come with an instruction manual, […]
Quit Nursing the Hurt & Rehearse the Win!
We tend to remember what we should forget, and forget what we should remember ~ Mark Batterson If it’s been awhile since you’ve experienced a “win” you are probably ripe to fall prey to the lies of the enemy. He whispers in your ear “You’re a Loser, You’ll never be Enough, Look at what happened […]
A Mother’s Love is more Powerful than Memory!
“Once you’re a mom, you’re always a mom. It’s like riding a bike, you never forget.” ~ Taraji P. Henson My mother was always the quiet type. She much preferred to remain in the background cheering, rather than to be in the spotlight being cheered. Though she was never the first one to speak up, […]
Do You See What I See?
“You know, eternal life does not start when we go to heaven. It starts the moment you reach out to Jesus. He never turns His back on anyone. And He is waiting for you.” – Corrie Ten Boom. We live in a world that teaches following your “heart” (feelings) is (more accurate, and leads to […]
