More from Kathy
Comfort is found in God’s Love and Promises
My longing for more time with Brad is as strong today and will remain in me until I see Him again. I have not experienced one day since Brad’s death that I have not had at the least a moment (usually many moments) of longing for Brad to be with me still. I find comfort in knowing that God who knows my heart understands.
As Believers, we are blessed to have Jesus who understands firsthand the pain of separation that death presses into our souls. I have often felt Jesus sit alongside of me and just grieve with me when I am overcome. I believe Jesus hates death more than we do. I like knowing this. In fact, I need to know this; it comforts me. Our Father is always at work…and He has purposed for good to come from even the most heartbreaking losses. I would never say Brad’s death is good. Yet from the amazing and most gracious love of God, He lifts me up from my anguish and invites himself into my sorrow with His unique joy and transforms me.
God has brought good out of my sorrow. It took my sorrow for the good to be done. I wouldn’t have planned it this way, but I trust God’s plans more than I trust my ways. God will do no less with your sorrow. It’s one of His promises, and God keeps all His promises.
“He heals the brokenhearted. And binds up their wounds [healing their pain and comforting their sorrow].” Psalms 147:3 (AMP)
God’s love tells us this: I have my heart set on you.
Interview with Kathy
Does writing energize or exhaust you?
Honestly, it can do both! I feel energized writing when the direction of my thoughts is clear, and the words seem to flow onto the pages. I feel exhausted when, after several attempts, I can’t figure out a good approach or find the right words to draw my reader into wanting to read further into the story.
How did writing this book grow you spiritually?
The recalling of all the different ways God lovingly answered the prayers and needs of my husband and me. His faithfulness has given me added confidence and trust that there isn’t anything I will face in the future that God won’t enable me to endure and find His peace.
Favorite quote?
“You’re never wrong for doing the right thing.” – Mark Twain. I believe this expresses a wonderful example of what integrity is and exhibits courage too.
When did you start writing?
Several months after my husband’s death, I began writing a devotional blog titled Fix Your Thoughts on Jesus. This eventually led me to being invited to join the writing team for an online widow’s ministry titled A Widow’s Might. This ministry eventually self-published four devotional books titled For the Love of HER Life, to which I contributed five devotions.
What is the most difficult part about writing for you?
Editing. Often it’s hard to edit out something I’ve written that I like but doesn’t really fit into the narrative.
Thank you for letting us get to know you better!
