Looking back




I told a friend of ours recently that it's hard to go on without looking back. Without stopping. (Sarah, you are such a blessing to me. You are in my prayers...you and Michael and the kids.) This video is a look back at a magical moment in time where we put everything aside and concentrated on each other.

Now God is calling me on, and I'm doing all I can to keep from missing anything he has for me and the boys. But I really do fight for my sanity sometimes. I'm not who I was three months ago. Physically, the weight I struggled for most of my life to put on is gone...it took all of seven weeks. Spiritually, though, I'm at a new place. A place where I understand that I don't understand anything except that God is real, and that he cares enough about me to whisper his love into my heart and soul and bring me back to life.

Jon,
Thank you so much for the post and the video of you and Jes renewing your vows. It's so awesome to see the two of you together sharing your special time with your sons and family. We can actually "see" the love as you look at each other and embrace. Jes looks like a beautiful princess. I'm so glad you have these videos, pictures, and memories to reflect upon.

It's okay to stop, look back, and remember. You're human. You're giving God the control and I know he'll lead you along the way and carry you when you grow weary. I just know there's something wonderful ahead for you and the boys. It will take time; but, it's there. My prayers are with you. I thank God for giving you courage and strength to face each day; while restoring joy to your heart.

God bless,
Joan
