022 – Joy Comes In The Mourning

DETAILS:
Friday, July 13th, right at midnight, Cody and Elaine received a call that Cody’s mother, Delena Carol Johnston, had been found in the driveway and had passed away. This episode was recorded the next day to serve as a time capsule for how Cody felt. This episode is a heartfelt cry to love people and to show them the compassion of Christ.

Carol (Delena) passed away from her heart failing early that morning. She had many struggles: alcohol addiction, fear, anxiety, and depression, but beyond her struggles was a woman who loved God whole-heartedly and wanted the best for her family. She was a good woman who fought hard. She was 53 years of age when she passed.

DEFINITION:
/ˈmôrniNG/ - the expression of deep sorrow for someone who has died, typically involving following certain conventions such as wearing black clothes.

    thank you for sharing your heart. You spoke a message we all need to hear. May God give you peace and comfort. She knew you loved her completely. She was just broken…..as we all are in some way. God’s grace is greater than our brokenness.
