What a lovely weekend it has been. For the first time in longer than I can remember we had no obligations. Due to the threat of severe weather the kids were out Friday so we wound up with a long weekend. We stayed home, sat by the fire, watched movies, enjoyed being together, and worshiping together as a family today. Between God’s word and time with my family I feel restore and ready for a new week.

Our new normal is steadily growing. We are learning how to be a family of four. Learning how to be kind to each other, trying to extend grace and mercy – often times when the other person doesn’t deserve it. We’re learning how to wade through grief that shows up as sadness or anger. Learning to turn to the Savior when we don’t know how to respond or what to do with all the rolling emotions.

Slowly but surely I am watching our family change, heal, grow, and transform. Watching God answer our prayers and direct us down His path. How thankful I am for His abundant grace, abounding patience, and limitless love.

Romans 12:2
2 Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.

Until tomorrow,
‘Carrow 💜

I pray she has good cause to grin like this in heaven. Oh how we love you sweet girl!
