It feels so good to be out of the woods. People have said it at work and at church. It is amazing to see that look of pure joy. No shroud of weight hangs about her shoulders. And it all started because I came to a point where I saw all the anger that lurked within and was able to set it aside with God's help. I'll always miss Jeremy, you can't carry a child for nine months and raise him for 33 years without being united in spirit. But now, I can see the beauty of God's creation again, and I have a new hope within me that all things will turn out for good.

I think one of the things that held Jeremy back from being all he could be was the feeling that he couldn't possibly make a difference. It was difficult for him because he was held back in many things, but he could have done one thing at a time and over time it would have added up to a lot. But he couldn't see that. Even if he didn't see it, just by being himself, he touched a lot of peoples lives. They couldn't help but laugh at some of the things he did and said, but he touched their lives by his sense of humor and his urgent desire to spread God's word to all that would listen.

I know that I have had those same thoughts. How can I make a difference or how can I fulfill my calling when I have so very little money to work with. But I can do one thing a day towards my goal, and over time it can turn into something beautiful. Can one person really make a difference? I believe they can.
