So, I have been fairly silent on FB for awhile. I want to be thoughtful of my words & check my motivation. This has been a year of wrestling with the Lord and slowly learning what it means to daily surrender my will to His. I am trying to walk in obedience believing in the goodness of God, that He is trustworthy, and that my only hope can be found in Him. I intellectually can say these things but it is a daily battle to believe them in my heart.
I am so grateful for the patience and faithfulness of so many friends and family in the way they have walked this devastatingly, painful road of losing Austin in our lives on this earth. I know y’all are an example of how God is carrying us. I am reminded over and over again how broken this world is and how desperately we all need Jesus. I am also so especially thankful for the people that have cheered, prayed, and lovingly helped Sam & Charlie! We have survived this year. We have many things to be thankful to the Lord for. Please know that we still would not have chosen the days that God chose for Austin. We are walking in weakness but strengthened by God. On Friday, the 15th, the anniversary of Austin passing, we joined with a group of friends at sunrise. David sweetly lead us in worship with the help of Jeff and Lynsey Strese. David Penuel shared a message briefly about the hope of spring time coming after this year of winter. Then, we walked and prayed and remembered. Thank you to our amazing super community Group who helped organize and host in a days notice, especially the Breedloves opening up their home yet one more time. These are the two songs we sang. https://www.google.com/…/Elevation-worship-o-come-to-the-al… http://www.ap0s7le.com/…/Stuart_Townend,_K…/In_Christ_Alone/ The scriptures that we focused on were Lamentations 3:18–24, 2Corinthians 12:9–10, Romans 15:13, and Hebrews 12:1-2. I hope these verses & songs encourage your souls as they do us. Love, Suzanne
