Thankful Thursday week 14

What an amazing week! My heart was heavy for the love that our Lord gave us. I walked into this week with Good Friday. It has been the first Good Friday I have been able to experience here at our home church, NMC. I was reminded of my sin and how God paid for it. I nailed my confessions to the cross remembering his suffering for me and how I played a part in that. This week we spent longing for Sunday to come. One because of our Lord and two because of Caleb, my baby. I am thankful that he was able to celebrate his birthday on Easter this year. It was an awesome day full of family, church and laughs. I am grateful, grateful that Christ died for me. Grateful that he saved me. Grateful for this life he has given me and that he never gave up on me. Grateful for my son whose blue eyes changed my heart.

I am grateful that God allows us to walk in community. Last Thursday I was broken (overwhelmed) when my friend Christina gave thanks for me. It moved me to tears, and that is hard to do. I turned to JM and just cried in his arms, and it was here that he said, "God is going to make a way, that is all that matters." I am holding true to these words for so many reasons. I was brought to tears because I am trusting God to move in the most amazing way and because of Christina's love for God. Her love for Him is amazing and it makes me thrive after His heart more. I am thankful to know her and to walk along side her and to maybe just maybe help to tell the amazing story of her son, Judson. What a beautiful boy. I am more than touched by this family, I am grateful for knowing them and for being able to walk hand in hand with them. I can not help but think of Jud when I think of Caleb. I am grateful for both boys and oh how I wish they could walk hand in hand together here on earth. But I am grateful for the story we can tell of God's faithful servant Judson. Oh Lord, may you use us all to show your love and tell of your Son. Amen and Amen!
