Happy Tuesday!
Mom’s here visiting from NY for 10 days, Asher is getting close to 26 weeks in utero - PTL!, and our new friends are awaiting their little Ellie (pic below) to pass her car seat test so they can take her home from the NICU.
Every day praises mark this season of our life.
This morning, I sat here in my room grateful for Youtube and live streaming so I could be a part of Elizabeth Koproski’s Celebration of Life Service (see blog post from earlier) who as a 46 year old wife and mom of 3 went to be with Jesus 11 days ago. What marked me most was when the song How Great Thou Art was sung. Everyone in the pews sat listening, and then her husband Steve, arose on the front row with arm lifted in worship. In the midst of his deepest grief, Steve is choosing to worship our God. That speaks so deeply to my heart. I have had amazing seasons where God has called me to work and serve. Ministering with Athletes in Action (sports ministry of Cru) where I met Steve and E, allowed me to walk alongside some of the most faith filled people I’ve ever known in my life, Steve Koproski being one.
My prayer is that Jonny and I’s journey would be full of faith like those around us. That our trust each day would glorify our God and be a part of the puzzle of many peoples lives who would come to know our Jesus and spend eternity with Him.
“Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed,
for his compassions never fail.
They are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness.
Lamentations 3:22-23”
