six months ago today . . .

I've heard it a million times - "my how the times does fly" . . . and that it does!!! It doesn't really seem possible that six months ago today we met our son, Jackson Christopher! God has sustained us in so many unbelievable ways within the last six months and how fitting that we are able to look back upon the goodness of God in our own lives on this Good Friday!! Today is the day that my Saviour, Jesus Christ, laid down His life for me!! His Heavenly Father, God, understands far more than I what it is like to lose a son - the amazing and miraculous thing is that Jesus did not stay in that grave - NO!! He was raised on that third day, Easter Sunday, so that I might be have life eternal! Yes, my heart has been broken in the last six months over the loss of my son, but I have hope because God was willing to sacrifice His one and only son for me and my sinfulness!!!

God has and continues to sustain us as we walk through each and every day! There have been some really hard days in the last six months, but all in all we are finding such joy in watching Ellie and Lily grow and learn and explore, we are clinging to Our Lord more and understanding His truths better because of all that He brought us through.

The girls often talk about Jackson and wonder what he would be doing right now - it tugs at my heart because I often wonder the same things, but we talk about how our little guy is rejoicing at the feet of God Almighty - none of us really fully understand that, but what joy and comfort it brings to our hearts.

Ellie and Flavio went to the driving range one day and on the way back she asked her daddy if he thought Jackson would've enjoyed playing golf! I'm pretty sure he would have!

We are blessed beyond measure!!!
