Mercy what a day! I count myself as a very fortunate person. I don’t dread Monday’s, I love my job and my coworkers. But today… it was one of those Monday’s.
We visited Kayleigh’s gravesite on the way home yesterday and I’ve just been flat feeling ever since. I miss her. Toss in a little stress with a little sad and it just stinks. I’m so thankful for my faith and a God that loves me just the way I am. That I don’t have to get myself straightened out to be in His presence. I can take my broken pieces and hand them over to Him to fix. He mends my heart, holds me close, and dries my tears. Oh how I want to hold her again. See her face. Brush her hair. Kiss her cheeks. But today is not that day.
While I can’t see, hold, or touch my girl, I can still remember. This evening we met with many of the city leaders to really start getting the Prayers For Kayleigh event underway. It helps to have this project, to feel like we are still doing something for Kayleigh. Carrying on her legacy. Remembering our girl and sharing her with others. Our town is really quite amazing. The way the leaders are willing to help and make this an amazing event. We are truly blessed. I can tell you from the lineup I heard tonight, you’re going to want a ticket. It’s going to be awesome!
And no, I’m not announcing that lineup yet. We still have details to work out. It’s important that anything we do with Kayleigh’s name on it be done to the best of our ability. But stay tuned.
So tonight, I go to bed still sad but hopeful at the same time. We have something to look forward to and there is much work to be done. Thank you God for the promise of a new day.
Deuteronomy 31:8
8 Do not be afraid or discouraged, for the Lord will personally go ahead of you. He will be with you; he will neither fail you nor abandon you.”
2 Corinthians 1:3-4
3 All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. God is our merciful Father and the source of all comfort. 4 He comforts us in all our troubles so that we can comfort others. When they are troubled, we will be able to give them the same comfort God has given us.
Until tomorrow,
‘Carrow💜
You are my sunshine…
