The world gets different when you lose your mom. It’s quieter, and a little colder.

Nobody else knows your childhood the way she did. Nobody else answers the phone like she did. I keep looking for that voice in rooms where it used to be.

I’m asking God to be the warmth in the places she left. And I’m asking Him to keep her close tonight.

Who are you lifting up in prayer today?

Mom, I’m standing by the water again, and I still can’t believe it.

I know how it sounds. I know how many months have passed. But some mornings I wake up and the first thing I reach for is the thought of calling you.

God, I’m just a kid in a big world missing his mom tonight. Hold me the way she did.

Look up tonight.There’s a whole sky full of stars, and a sunrise waiting at the edge of it. When I miss them, I’ve start...

Look up tonight.

There’s a whole sky full of stars, and a sunrise waiting at the edge of it. When I miss them, I’ve started stepping outside just for a minute and letting the sky do some of the holding.

I can’t say for sure what it means. I’ve come to think it’s a gentle place to send a prayer, and a quiet way of saying “I’m still thinking of you.”

What do you tell God when words run out?

I know they’re at peace. I believe that, and I hold onto it.My heart still aches anyway. Those two things have been sitt...

I know they’re at peace. I believe that, and I hold onto it.

My heart still aches anyway. Those two things have been sitting side by side in me for a long time, and neither one cancels the other out.

Lord, I’m not asking You to take the ache away. I’m asking You to keep the peace over them, and to give me some of it too.

My arms are empty, but my heart isn’t.I can’t hold you the way I did, and that still catches me off guard some days. But...

My arms are empty, but my heart isn’t.

I can’t hold you the way I did, and that still catches me off guard some days. But I’ve started to feel you closer than my arms ever could. Not gone, just kept somewhere safe.

I’ll hold you there forever, and I’ll trust God to hold you everywhere else. Rest easy.

The world didn’t stop. I know because I watched it not stop.

Traffic lights changed. Stores opened. Someone laughed at the next table. I wanted to say, don’t you know what happened? And of course they didn’t.

So I take my broken heart to the One who does know. God sees every day I get through, even the ones where the only thing I managed was staying upright.

I didn’t realize how much of who I was came from being yours.

Your daughter, your friend, the one who got your calls. When you left, I lost the role and I lost the reason I got up in the morning. Some days I still can’t find either one.

God, I need You to show me who I am now, and what I’m for. I don’t ask for the whole map. Just the next step, and the daisy blooming where I least expect it.

To the one who asked, “Aren’t you over it yet?”I’m not, and I’m not on a schedule. Love didn’t end when they died, so wh...

To the one who asked, “Aren’t you over it yet?”

I’m not, and I’m not on a schedule. Love didn’t end when they died, so why would the grief? It’s just love without anywhere to go.

I’m praying for patience, for those who hurry others along and for the grieving who feel hurried. May we all be given room.

Who are you lifting up in prayer today?

“I only miss you when I’m breathing.”

I read it three times. It isn’t a joke. It’s how the days go, one breath and one missing, over and over, with no gap in between.

The rain keeps falling and the rose keeps bending. I’m not going to tell you it’s all fine. But I am handing each breath over to God anyway, because it’s the only thing I know to do with them.

There’s a thin crescent over the water tonight, and I’m thinking about how we meet again in memory.

Some people say that’s all it is. I’ve come to think it’s a gift. A smile I can call up on purpose. A voice that still sounds exactly right when I close my eyes.

Thank You, God, for a heart that can hold them.
