∞I believe as I step into twenty-eighteen the Lord is reminding me-"I have your heart, your hurt, your broken places..and One Day, there will be no more tears, no more death, or sorrow or crying or pain...One Day!(Rev. 21:4) As for today, the suffering and the sorrow that are your companions will be the reminder that you need more than "fixing"...you need a Savior."
There will be days when we feel like throwing our arms in the air and shouting, "I can't!" ..and go ahead...Do it! You'll feel better! But in that moment of complete desperateness, I believe He reaches down and strengthens our weak and feeble hands and makes straight our path.
Grace came downstairs a few mornings ago and began sharing with me a dream she had about Warren. As dreams go, the details didn't all fit together and some of it was random...However, one detail about her dream that made me smile was the first question she said she asked Warren when she saw him..." Do you have your license? Can you drive me around?"
I can focus my attention on the circumstances surrounding me, or I can choose to put those "eternal lenses" back on and fix my eyes on the One I trust most, the One who can bring me out of the "crazy" and into pleasant places...Quiet places where my soul can find rest. (Psalm 16:6)
All of our suffering is unique and cannot be compared..However, no matter the specifics of our circumstances there is only one answer...one hope and that is Jesus. We all might journey differently to land here, but no matter your hurt, or fear, or the unbearable situation you face....there is ONE Hope, One salvation, One Jesus and He cares about YOU and me!

∞It was cool and damp. The ground was soft and my heels sank into the ground. I hugged family and saw some for the first…
It's been almost 2 years, and I'm not sure if it seems like yesterday or the longest 2 years of my life..Both, maybe. But One thing remains, our Hope is Jesus. He is the Light of the world and because of this Promise, we will RISE UP and be thankful for the Gospel of Jesus Christ..and because of The Gospel we KNOW that Warren is ALIVE and we will see him again...
It's November....Again. Another holiday season without my boy. Another Thanksgiving, another Christmas, another hard, another 23rd & 24th..this time marking 2 years since Warren left this earth and made it Home. Again...it seems almost unbearable. Again, I am reminded that it is here, in this brokenness I find Jesus. Again...and again it's JUST JESUS.
I need Him now more than yesterday and I am more thankful today for sweet friends and family that have endured the uncertainty of this journey and encouraged me more than you may ever know! I am LOVED. I am grateful.
