Haven't blogged in a long while. Lots of changes in the past 12 months.
Good and bad.
Bad seems to always shade the good.
This past year I read
Ann Voskamp's book,
1000 Gifts.
I also have followed her blog and am so grateful for her clear insights and her willingness for personal transparency.
Our family has undergone a significant blow to our core being.
Its amazing how God works in the trenches but even through a whole lot of pain to this momma's heart, I feel like I know even better where my hope is found. It is not found in the things here on earth... Or in my husband or my boys...but how often do we get caught up in staring at these and glancing at God. When we get caught up in our feelings, how quickly we focus on the wrong thing. My hope is in my Savior.
So no matter what trench we are in, and no matter how deep our boots are stuck down in the mud, we are not in this alone. And to steal Ann Voskamps hash tag #preachinggospeltomyself.
I get up everyday with as much sadness as I have ever experienced in my whole life. Some days having no desire to go on, but I am seeking joy and thankfulness and that is how I put one foot in front of the other. Our family is not healed but my God is the great physician and I'm going to keep my eyes on him. #Thankful
