The viewing and funeral came and went. Time waits for no man. You either get on board, get out of the way, or get run over. 

We were beginning to experience our new normal, like it or not. 

Part of that new normal was going to church. We had never been church goers.  Only on the important holidays really, but now in the midst of our new normal, we made every Sunday a holiday. 

Here we found a good supportive community for us to learn how to live in our new normal. For me, understanding that this new normal was ok and I’m ok. 

I learned that the healthy shadow is being able to find refuge in the shadow of His wings.  Though I didn’t know it then, I was living in Psalm 91:4.
