Beauty from Ashes

Four months today...

My heart breaks each night when I don’t get to put her down, and my stomach drops each morning when she doesn’t wake me up with her messy hair and sweet smile.

It feels like yesterday, yet it feels like 4 years ago since I’ve seen her. What I have learned cannot be measured, what I have felt cannot be explained, and what I lost can never be replaced. But, I choose to commit my living to Him, so He will use us for His great purposes. There has to be purpose; if not, none of this makes sense. So, I choose to continue to find joy in each day— my boys, Trent, football, my job, family, and friends. Whatever your valley is, I believe He WILL bring beauty from ashes.
