Prepare Him Room - Advent Bible Study Week 1

[@buffyr5935]

Thank you, Darlene, for sharing your personal story as well as thoughts on this devotional. Looking forward to each day in God's Word and in your book. I am so sorry for your recent losses. Losing my mom this year has been one of the hardest things I have faced. I'm only getting through because of my love of Jesus and the hope He gives us. God even gave me a beautiful dream to let me know that she is with Him. He is a Good Father who loves us!

Wow. He is a God of comfort and mercy.

I am so sorry for your loss. I lost my mom in August to Breast cancer. We cared for her under hospice care in her home. Doctors said that the seizers will be really bad due to the cancer in her brain. We just prayed with her nonstop, we are 6 siblings, and we all took turns to take care of her, to read her the bible and sing worship music. when the seizers started, we all sang, and worshiped God and we can feel the Holy Spirit come to her body and take over and stop the seizers. My mom's last tears in her eyes were when she saw the light of the heavenly angels coming for her. she breathed her last breath speaking the words "I am ready Jesus" I have peace in my heart but i miss her terribly. God is a loving God.

Even though this is painful, still, such a sweet memory to be treasured.

[@Darlene20071965]

wow. I'm sorry for your loss. It sounds like you all were an incredible blessing to her as obviously she was to you too. "I am ready Jesus." Is truly amazing.

I'm so sorry for all of your losses! I, too, have had 5 miscarriages, and I have 4 living children. While each loss was difficult, I had to trust in God's sovereignty and His timing. And to look forward to meeting those children in heaven one day.

[@timewarpwife]

Thank you for sharing your story and your faith-it’s such a testimony of trust in God’s sovereignty. I’m so sorry for your losses, but how beautiful it is to have the hope of meeting those precious little ones in heaven one day. May God continue to comfort and bless you and your family. 🙏❤️

Thank you Darlene! I am so sorry for your loss. I too have been living with a lot of loss lately. Death and time feels very close and fleeting. I’m reading the Bible chronologically and today’s reading was both Thessalonians. I love the verses you shared today on the hope in God’s promises, to be with Him and those who have gone before us. There is so much hope in that alone. Your 1st weeks video is a blessing to me on day that it was needed. To God be the glory! Thank you again! Happy Thanksgiving and Merry Christmas to you and your family!

[@timewarpwife]

Thank you so much! I’m so sorry for the loss you’ve been facing-praise God for the comfort we find in His promises and the hope of eternity. I’m grateful this study could bless you at the right time. To God be the glory! Wishing you and your family a Merry Christmas as well! 🙏❤️

Darlene, thank you for this study & first weeks video! I am so sorry for your losses & for the most recent loss of your sister & your dog. I am encouraged by your insights & words about loss and how we can still find hope. The month of November is difficult for me as I lost both of my parents a year apart in this month. When I found your new study I was encouraged to take the time to immerse myself back in the word and prepare room for Jesus. Growing up we always had an advent wreath & candles on the dining table & my Mother made a point to teach us how to pray and ask for our hearts to prepare for the birth of Jesus. This year I bought a new advent cross & candles in memory of my parents and their faith and in memory of the beautiful tradition they instilled in me and my siblings. It gives me great hope that I will be reunited with them and all I have lost someday in heaven. Thank you for the vision of meeting someday on the porch to share tea and stories of how Christ has enriched our lives.

[@Darlene20071965]

What a beautiful tradition. That's such a warm memory.

I’ve clung to Roman’s 8:28 for more than a decade 💖

[@timewarpwife]

That’s such a powerful verse to hold onto! It’s amazing how God works all things together for good in His perfect timing. Thank you for sharing this-it’s such an encouragement! 🙏
