Romans 12:6-8 "Having gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, let us use them." Hannah, you use your gift of serving to witness to others. I am so proud of you for speaking to MPMS's FCA yesterday. Again, you nailed it! I love you to the moon.

"Blessed husband, love of my life; thank you for always taking care of your wife." & our kids....
 This picture brings life to Psalm 147:3 "He heals the broken-hearted and binds up their wounds." Yesterday our Sunday School lesson was from the first book of Genesis. We all know the story of creation. Have you ever REALLY thought about how God took something that was shapeless, empty,and void and turned it into our beautiful world? Although, sometimes the struggles we face don't seem so "beautiful" God can take those pieces and put them back together; dispelling the chaos and brokenness that His people feel. The simple thing that we have to do is trust Him. This brings the question to my mind. Why do we not trust him? Are we afraid to give up a sin that may be keeping us from Him? It's almost as if we are saying, God you can handle this, but let me keep just this one little thing for myself. If our child were hurting himself or herself wouldn't we want to take EVERYTHING from them that was causing them pain? That's how God is. He wants us to give Him our all. It's very hard to do. Looking back on this picture this morning I realized that @hannah_grace19 and @_instaagraham could not have put these words back together without every piece they had torn apart. And then it made even more sense to me. Isn't it wonderful how God places small signs in our lives to get our attention? Give God your "every piece" and He can heal your broken heart and turn your chaos into order. Thank You God for Your word. Thank You for using my broken pieces to help me draw closer to you. Thank You for my family, my friends and my community that have helped us and continue to help us in our new journey. Thank You for the last 10 days of JD's life and the chance he had to get all his chaos straight with You, his daddy and me. And thank you @jdpaul19 for helping your mama draw closer to our God. I love you to the moon.
"This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you." ~John 15:12
