We keep going…6 months

Today has been hard. Honestly this whole week is hard. This is a big week in several areas for our family. A week of extreme sadness and a week of very heavy things to process. Today is 6 months without our girl. I can close my eyes and instantly be back in the moment of that morning, but also I can look around and see how far we’ve come. Grief, trauma, sadness, hopelessness, exhaustion, darkeness, joy, laughter, sunshine, hope, love, Jesus-all of these things swirl together every day. It’s hard to even process that it’s already been 6 months. Thankful that we are 6 months closer to eternity! God has been so kind and faithful with every step. We keep stepping forward, trusting He will be there to catch us, we keep laughing, and sharing memories as they come, we keep sharing about Aspen and the light that she carried because she loved Jesus. We keep asking for God to continue to exceed our expectations with what He wants to do in this. We keep going-because He gives us the strength. We keep going because her story can change lives. We keep going because one day we will see that all of this pain had a purpose. We keep going because God wants to turn every heart towards himself and He is writing a beautiful story in the midst of this all. Thank you for continuing to love us and to ask how we are doing. Please continue to pray as we have a few really hard days coming up this week. Pray we continue to stay focused on The Lord. None of this is about us; it’s all about HIM! Satan messed with the wrong family, Jesus still sits in the throne and Jesus is Victor!
