We homeschooled for 16 great years, 11 of which I lovingly served as Miami County Ohio's homeschool co-ordinator, 7 years writing for The Old Schoolhouse homeschool magazine & serving as their Ohio coordinator & even though my heart will always be in the homeschool community, I feel the need to expand & move on into another area that is close to my heart ~ frugal living . . . including, but not limited to, money-saving tips; homemade food, personal care, health care, home cleaning; herbalism, etc. I am also a writer for the Christian Women's Voice magazine, a writer for The Biblical Herbal e-magazine, an herbalist, a free-lance writer, & a speaker on homeschooling, Christian women's issues, frugal living & herbs ~ I would be honored to speak to your group or at your retreat!

Jessica ~ An Angel Then, A REAL Angel Now ~ Read Her Story Here . . .
Oct. 1985~Jan. 1986
Many times in my life I have been asked something like, "How do you survive hard times or when bad things happen to you?" My answer is generally a version of: "You have to weigh your loses in light of the best & the worst ~ My best: this is not my eternal home, I have a Savior who paid for my sins & has prepared an incredible place for me to spend eternity w/Him; my worst: I've buried a child, all else pales in comparison." ~Kim Wolf<><

A True Home . . .
"A true home is one of the most sacred of places. It is a sanctuary into which men flee from the world’s perils and alarms. It is a resting-place to which at close of day the weary retire to gather new strength for the battle and toils of tomorrow. It is the place where love learns its lessons, where life is schooled into discipline and strength, where character is molded." ~J.R. Miller

I am Elizabeth Bennet!!
"In misfortune or disaster, what lofty heroism does she exhibit & what courage does her bravery kindle in her husband's heart! Instead of being crushed by the unexpected loss, she only then rises to her full grandeur of soul. Instead of weeping, repining & despairing, & thus adding tenfold to the burden of the misfortune, she cheerfully accepts the changed circumstances & becomes a minister of hope & strength. She turns away from luxury & ease to the plainer home, the simpler life, the humbler surrounding ~ without a murmur. It is in such circumstances & experiences that the heroism of woman's soul is manifested." ~Home-Making by J.R. Miller {1882}

Oh my goodness..tears through the whole thing. I am SO very sorry for your loss...My heart aches for you even after all these years...time heals it is true...but one never forgets and weeps the same. I know your precious baby girl is rejoicing and having an amazing life with Jesus just waiting for you...but those here...we cry.
ReplyDeleteKnow my friend I will be praying for you on this day....sending you many hugs. Wish I could be there in person. But you are safely in the arms of Jesus this day...no better place to be.
Hugs,
Connie
Kim -- your Jessica was born 2 weeks before my Jessica (she'll be 26 on 11/1) Holding your close in prayer, sweet friend. What a great reunion day you'll have someday :)

You are so brave. I have a best friend who lost a daughter, she was older then your dear Jessica, but loosing a child is the same no matter the age.
ReplyDeleteI marvel how after all these years she celebrates in the time spent, sorrow still about but not overwhelming.
You and my friend are so brave. May God show His grace upon you. And one day you and Jessica will be hand in hand again.
Kim, thank you so much for sharing this story. It brought tears to my eyes. I can't even imagine the pain of losing a child; but I can relate to your faith in the Savior. I am sure that you have helped many individuals with their hard moments in life. You have a compassionate and loving heart. Yes, God has a plan for our lives and someday you will see this angel daughter again.
ReplyDeleteBlessings, love and hugs to you!
Thank you, dear friends. Love to you all.
