Thank you all so much for your comments. I would like to bring glory to God through this trial. Coming on the back of my cancer diagnosis it’s been a bit of a year. But the Lord has been so close through it all. I can definitely say He has given me everything I needed and more.
Thank you Joosep. And you too. It’s been a difficult year when I have lost both my mum and my dad. Thankfully they are both now with the Lord. But still it’s been a tough year. And I miss them both so much.

I pray the Lord's continuing comfort for you. I know the feeling, I've been missing my mom and dad for many years now, and still miss them. I'm very glad to hear that your mum and dad were believers. God's peace and rest upon you.
I wrote, "I know the feeling" but it's not exactly true. You've lost both in the same year; that makes it especially difficult, in a way that was not so for me.
Like Joosep said ...the sting of loss may be with you for years to come...I think that's a sign that you were blessed with good parents ..mine passed in 2007 and I still miss their love...but I know that The Father has something good planned for us even if in our human courtroom judges God Unjust and Unwise...hang in there and keep believing in Jesus (I know you will)...
JD - as you’re learning John 17, I pray that in 2024 that the Father will keep you in his name and that the joy of Jesus may be fulfilled in you. (John 17:11,13)

Enjoying your posts and looking forward to the next update. You definitely have me leaning towards starting a spreadsheet. Not sure how it would operate but I’m thinking on it.
Hi Joosep. I know this thread is from a long time ago but thought I’d answer it and bring you up to date on Tracey and her father. Her father passed away in November last year. 3 days later Tracey was diagnosed with terminal cancer which was untreatable. I have just today been at her memorial service. What a tremendous trophy of grace she was. Amongst other things it was mentioned her love of learning scripture. She had learnt the entire book of the Song of Solomon. She never complained during her illness and spoke to everyone of the Lord. She witnessed non stop as she had all her life since coming to Christ. She wasn’t perfect but I do wish I could be more like her in her zeal and courage to share the gospel. She was so happy to be going home to be with the Lord. She leaves behind a brother who is still unsaved. She witnessed to him to her dying day.
Wow. That’s so impressive and inspiring. You’ve been so consistent with your scripture memorisation. And thanks for all your encouragement. Stay blessed. I too am so thankful to have found this site. Back in 2012 for me. 👍
Oh Joosep that is so kind of you. The Lord has been so good to me and been with me every step of the way. Through the valley He was my Shepherd and never left me for one moment. I am largely recovered now. But very thankful for all the Lord took me through and proved His love and care of me. I pray I never forget His faithfulness to me. Thanks again for your kindness and encouragement.
