I'm That Jerri: Because You Were Kind and Asked
http://imthatjerri.blogspot.com/2012/05/because-you-were-kind-and-asked.html
Friday, May 4, 2012. Because You Were Kind and Asked. Donna sent a message and asked where I am and how we are. In short, we are totally rocking. :-). About a month ago, the Lord said to post about the good things going on, and He said to let go of the blog, so I have not blogged since. Instead, He gave me the whole storyline for a book, which I have started, and I am SO excited about writing. It has been a lot of fun so far, and the research is right down my alley. As for this blog. I've been told our s...

I'm That Jerri: September 2011
http://imthatjerri.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
Wednesday, September 14, 2011. From My Journal- Faith, Fear, and Faithfulness. Fear is my feeling that whatever comes will disrupt my "happy spot" or comfort zone. Probably will, but faith says I'll like it on the other side. Monday, September 5, 2011. Possibly My Greatest Flaw. Could it be my greatest flaw is fixating so much on my flaws. That I dismiss or ignore His perfect ability to love me and work in me. While working and loving perfectly through me? From My Journal, Jerri Phillips. For a fabulous ...

I'm That Jerri: What You Don't Know
http://imthatjerri.blogspot.com/2012/03/what-you-dont-know.html
Wednesday, March 28, 2012. What You Don't Know. Your life just seems so full of death and sadness.". Her words settled like an annoying fly that stays just out of reach when I swat at it but close enough to tell you all about the fine hair on my earlobe. I don't see it that way." I picked my words- and tone- carefully. "Yes, some days are hard, and some moments are really. Hard, but overall, I think our lives are awesome.". Why can't people see the good stuff? You would have joined us when we made decora...

http://imthatjerri.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
Sunday, November 27, 2011. For the last two days. I have been trying to get comfortable. In my own skin. And instead just seem to rattle around in who I am. If you understand what I mean, please know my heart goes out to you, and I am praying for you. Sunday, November 20, 2011. For Christmas.I Want Santa Claus. The season of anticipation is upon us. Christmas is just around the corner, and for the first time since I was a kid, I wish there were a Santa Claus. One thing Rob and I did well was Christmas.

Hope-ful: April 2011
http://remaining-hopeful.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
Monday, April 4, 2011. I Hope You Understand- I'm Not Dead. When I deactivated my Facebook account a week or so ago, I received several emails and messages asking if I was okay. Yes, I was.no, I wasn't. I was okay in that I wasn't hiding because I was miserable or buried in sadness. I was okay in that the criteria for "okay" my friend and I created last summer was still working. As long as I believed tomorrow would be better, I was alright. I do, and I am. Frankly, a lot of the time I spend my time tryin...

Hope-ful: Worshipping
http://remaining-hopeful.blogspot.com/2011/03/worshipping.html
Wednesday, March 9, 2011. Tonight there is no Gibbs. There is no shooting terrorists. Tonight there is stillness. I am forcing myself to be still, to allow myself to think, to allow myself to feel. It's a hard thing, this feeling.or drowning in so much feeling that I have gone numb. And I cannot truly believe what I see around me. Getting the legal papers signed? Picking up his ashes and figuring out where to put them until we scatter them later? Paying off bills that have accrued? I have never felt so u...

Hope-ful: February 2011
http://remaining-hopeful.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
Tuesday, February 22, 2011. My friend Rod Dreher posted this on my Facebook page. Yes, Rod, yes. Http:/ www.youtube.com/watch? I keep going back to a phrase from the poet W.H. Auden: "Stagger onward rejoicing." Seems right in this situation. I'm also thinking of a line from that Leonard Cohen song "Hallelujah": "Love is not a victory march/It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah." Yep. Sunday, February 20, 2011. Saturday, February 19, 2011. August 6, 1968-February 15, 2011. Thank you for your prayers.
