This situation posted a challenge and tested my resolve repeatedly. I felt I needed a lot of support and strength to continue. <br />In the past, I used to get strength when I see Steve and witness his resolve in positively facing extreme challenges. Now, during my challenging times, I am turning to this blog and finding support in what Steve wrote. Time and time again, I read what Steve wrote and gained strength to light the next step and keep going. Steve’s words were like the “dim flashlight to light the next step” that he is referring to. Steve taught me so much in his life but I never thought that he will still teach me even after his death.<br />Steve, I miss you a lot and I long very much to seeing you in the life after. You are an inspiration to me. I hope that when we meet in the life after that you would still teach me the same lessons that you always taught me.<br />AzadAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35753836.post-14692777551586483182009-11-13T00:02:19.176-05:002009-11-13T00:02:19.176-05:00Thank you for sharing this, Larissa.

But I never thought that even after his death, Steve would still teach similar lessons. Steve said “I'm learning that patience is about taking just the next step trusting that God is leading me and caring for me and protecting me” and to this I say Amen. Steve exemplifies what is repeatedly by millions in the serenity prayer which reads:<br />“Living one day at a time; <br />Enjoying one moment at a time; <br />Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace; <br />Taking, as He did, this sinful world<br />as it is, not as I would have it; <br />Trusting that He will make all things right<br />if I surrender to His Will;<br />That I may be reasonably happy in this life <br />and supremely happy with Him<br />Forever in the next.”<br />Steve, I miss you a lot and long very much to seeing you in life after. I hope that your sudden departure from this life would work to strengthen the bond you and I developed in this life so we may continue stronger brothers in the life after.<br />AzadAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35753836.post-81847906467008971012009-11-07T11:32:16.589-05:002009-11-07T11:32:16.589-05:00Thanks laris for sharing this post...it has even m...Thanks laris for sharing this post...it has even more reality now that steve is gone. how clearly he could verbalize the path of suffering, and what should be our response (only with god's grace). love, gAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35753836.post-4368420956080517362009-11-06T23:55:18.483-05:002009-11-06T23:55:18.483-05:00Wow, what powerful words.
