"I am leaving you with a gift—peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give is a gift the world cannot give. So don’t be troubled or afraid." John 14:27
This gift was surely given to us and I am forever thankful. I know God has a plan for our family and whether that means being able to have more children on our own, adopting, or only having Caden and Christian we have no idea. But we will trust in His plan even when we cannot see the purpose.
As a planner it's very difficult to just trust and and know that God is in control. I want to take control. I want to know what to expect. I want, I want I want! But God knows what I NEED. And above all I need Him. We cannot do anything without Him. I can't be a good wife, mother, daughter, friend, woman without Him in my life.
I miss Christian deeply. But there is no place for pain when I know he is with God. There is no better place. Not even here with us. So instead I REJOICE that God trusted us to LOVE him even for such a brief time. I do not understand why he was taken so soon but that is why faith is so important. I know that "God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose." Romans 8:28
Thank you all for your love and support and prayers for our family. I just pray I can give the same support in return.
I love yall so much.
