New Year's was hard, we celebrated at our house with friends which was fun but I ended 2018 in tears thinking I just wish I could start 2018 over so Joshua would be here instead of going into 2019 without him.
I should be happy to be done with 2018, it was a hard year. I tell myself to try to see the good with the bad, see God's grace in the hard times. Justin being in grad school and becoming the Science Department Head was so good and I am so proud of him but it also meant lots of extra work and stress. Kambry being born was a beautiful wonderful time but also hard, Joy had to leave for Uganda just a few days before Kambry was born, Justin had to go take a class in Beaumont, TX just 5 days after Kambry was born. Then of course loosing a brother, something you never think you will have to go through and definitely the hardest thing I've ever had to go through. But seeing our friends and family come around us and just be there for ever need, physically, emotionally, financially was just amazing to see.
Every year and season of life has ups and downs but this year they have been steeper than I've ever experienced. I'm thankful for our Father God who loves us so, who we know is always here with us and shows himself so often especially through the hard times. And I am especially thankful that we know that Joshua is worshipping with the angels in Heaven and that we will see him again one day.
