It Would Have Been 12
Today would have been 12 years married. Twelve years, sweetheart! Crazy. It's so strange to think about the time that's passed and the progress we've made as a family since last August 15th. You know the scripture that says God uses the bad things in our lives for good..... Somehow we will be better without Jeseca than we were with her here. That's the part that really requires faith and trust, isn't it?
I was in church yesterday. The worship band sang I Can Only Imagine. "I can only imagine what it will be like when I walk by your side; I can only imagine what my eyes will see when your face is before me; I can only imagine..." I couldn't help but think that Jeseca knows now. She doesn't have to imagine anymore. She's there doing whatever it is she was able to do at her first glimpse of Jesus. What an amazing thought. I'm envious.
So much is happening now. The boys are just two days away from the end of their first official year in a daily school environment. My dad's (and my) business just landed its first client. My article hit the Web and has served as a springboard for other opportunities to talk about Jeseca, our new life as a Single Dad family, and the hope we have in our great God. And I finally hung some artwork in the house.
This journey continues. Most of it is challenging, but there are so many smiles in it all. And I don't do it alone. I have the help of my family and friends (I love you all so much), and the support of an amazing God who continually shapes and molds my heart into the weapon it should be against my own selfishness and pride. A heart for Him. JG
