WHERE WERE YOU?
Micah 7:7
“But as for me, I watch in hope for the Lord. I wait for God my Savior; my God
will hear me.”

We have officially moved into our new house! The stars are amazing
out here – it is so dark that I can even see them out Lassen’s window while
reading him books in bed. Brighton felt close while I was looking at them. So
grateful for this place. I pray, Lord, that we have a lot of joy in this house
and that we also seek it out.

Lassen was so good today and played by himself with his sand for a long time so I could work on the house which was great. We went through Brighton’s things together and Lassen wanted me to wrap him in his brother’s blanket. So sweet. He is so missed…

9 months. Brighton has been with Jesus longer than he was physically with me. That is hard to reconcile and process. A rainbow beam was showing up by the sunrise the other day just reminding me that God is good and He understands our pain.
I received an email from Now I
Lay Me Down To Sleep (NILMDTS) the other day asking for my permission to use Brighton’s
pictures as they were writing an article about Stacey, our photographer! Of
course I was honored and said yes. I texted Stacey to let her know how cool it
is and she had no idea they were writing
anything –oops! Didn’t know it was a surprise…?? She ended up telling me that she
was honored as Photographer of the Year for the entire organization which is
incredible. She had given them Brighton’s name as pictures she wanted them to
use! Stacey said there will also be a lot of press in the Indy area in the next
few weeks as there are only two NILMDTS photographers in the entire Indy area.
I just love that God continues to use Brighton’s story to reach others and make
an impact. Please use me Lord in the ways you know best!

Thank you Lord for answered prayers. For healthy babies after long
waits. For rainbows on my bedroom wall reminding me of Your goodness. For
giving me grace to begin again, and again.

Twice this week, people have told me they were thinking about
Brighton and it made me so happy that he hasn’t been forgotten. Thank you Lord
for letting people remember and then tell me – it means so much!
Lassen is cracking me up. He
has been calling me “Baby Mommy.” He will take my face in his sweet hands and
say “Hi Baby Mommy.”
I listened to the Traders
Point sermon about joy and it was so good. Exactly what we learned with
Brighton. Joy and happiness are different. Joy doesn’t depend on circumstances –
it is something with choose.
I found this song by Ghost Ship called "Where Were You" based on the book of Job. It brings me to tears every time I hear it. God is in every single detail and we are so far removed from seeing the whole picture. Yet He still patiently listens to our questions and kneels so that He can answer us...
