I'm sleeping more but am more tired and requiring more care. I don't like this direction we're headed and it is requiring me much more time to post a blog entry.

Where to Spend Time & Energy
I am somewhat confused at priorities these days. My computer and iPhone both required repairs the same week. Then it took a bit to get things back up and.running. Then my vision went in my left eye and so I'm adjusting to not being able to see able see. And I'm trying so hard to make a video for my funeral and i don't have the energy.
Just swinging around
My handsome boy
The tray table my husband made me so that my arms did not hurt as much.

Praying for you that God will show you the priorities you need to have right now, Krista! xoxo
ReplyDeleteKrista,
ReplyDeleteI've been thinking about you more and more over these last few years... you've never been far from my mind, but my thoughts about you have just gotten stronger and stronger as time has gone by. Now I know why.
I wish I had known... somehow I could have been there for you throughout this journey, as difficult as it may be... you were there for me in my rebellion and stupidity and I know God placed you in my life at that time for a reason... there's no comparing though. Your struggle is much more than I've ever experienced.
I'm praying for you... I know it sounds like a pat thing to say, but prayer ALWAYS works. You are such a light in the world. I love you and have been missing you for 20 years. I'm sorry I didn't keep in touch with you.
In Christ,

I'm on facebook, I have something I would like to send to you... please let me know your info... you can text it to my phone or call or anything... XOXOX
Dear Krista,
ReplyDeleteI did a happy dance when Alisha Cooper let us know on Facebook how to reach you. Then, my stomach sank when I saw the circumstances that bring you to blog so openly and honestly online... Over the years, I've remembered our TMI trip - to Florida and then to the Philippines. Such a sweet summer for me! You are a part of so many of my most treasured memories of that summer. Here in the Facebook TMI community, I'll occasionally ask if anyone has heard from Krista Wagenhoffer (spelling?!), but I hadn't been able to find you. And here you are - dear sister in Christ! - walking in triumph with words and pictures here that both break and lift my heart. Thank you for sharing your life with those of us who had a chance to know you, long ago. Thank you for being brave, and honest. Thank you for blessing the world with a son who will shine like his mama. Thank you for speaking truth twenty years ago on that life-changing summer trip, and for speaking it now.
Do you remember those huge, purple duffel bags we had to carry through the TMI summer? The airports were particularly poignant to me, as we were instructed to "pretend" the bags weren't as heavy as they really were so we would not have to pay fees for heavy luggage. This load you carry - it seems so incredibly heavy. There's no pretending it is not. I know that you know where I'm going - Ha! - The only One who carries it and realizes how heavy it really is, is Jesus. How I love Him! Praying He holds you, carries you, shines through you, comforts your beautiful loved ones... I cling to Colossians 3:3b, knowing that you and I are safe in Him, where your "real life is tucked into Christ." Praying your "tucked into Him" each moment of this day...
Krista, I just got done reading Karen's post, she's always had a way with words. I'm also glad Alisha contacted us for prayers for you! It's good to know that you are steadfast in your faith at this time. One memory that I remember from our mission trip together is you scrubbing that giant black pot. And how you jumped in there and did it with a smile the whole time! I think I even have a picture of you somewhere covered in black soot. You were always a shining example to us!
ReplyDeleteMuch love to you and your family,
Eva Bravomalo Davis
