I can hardly believe a whole week has passed by already. I am glad it is over, but can't really place where i was for most of it.
Scott's memorial here in the Philippines was beautiful. A fire on one of the white beaches. The moon was overwhelmingly orange as it slowly rose from what seemed to be behind the ocean, almost as if it was imitating the sun rising. i have never seen anything like it. The world seemed flat. It lost its orange glow after it had risen several meters into the night sky. I am of course only using my arm lengths to measure the sky. since I am not a astrologist, i have no other equipment.
We told stories of Scott around a fire and lit candles inside of coconut halves, wadding into the ocean and releasing them together, symbolizing a collective freeing of his spirit. it was beautiful. He is in Australia now and they will bury him at his favorite place on his parent's farm this coming Tuesday.
When my world falls apart and the light turns to dark
When the clouds gather ‘round and the storms overwhelm
When my heart breaks in half and my strength cannot last
When I’m lost in this land and I can’t see Your plan...
I'll Stand.

On Christ the Solid Rock I stand.

That picture was awesome! We love you Toni!
Toni, I don't even know what to say. Since I'm terrible at facebook and blogs I have not kept up on your journey since you've been gone like I would have liked to. As I have read what you've been through these last few weeks it brings tears to my eyes. My heart aches because I know your heart is aching. You are such a strong and amazing woman of God and I am so proud of you!!! Your unwavering faith and trust in God is amazing. I know your call seems really big, but trust in the Lord with all your heart and do not lean on your own understanding. It's one day at a time... God will only give you manna for the day, nothing more and nothing less. You can't hoard it or it will spoil. I miss you so much and cannot wait for you to get back!! Blessing you my daughter, sister and friend!!
Love you! Susan
