living a nightmare.... one year later

There are certain dates that bring back memories to us.

Sometimes they are happy memories.  Sometimes not.

October 3rd will forever be a date that I remember as: 

a nightmare.

However, I have chosen to look past the horrible pain & instead see the miracle in that day.

One year ago, my husband and I faced the most terrifying obstacle we could ever imagine.

A day that began so perfectly.  But in a split second, went horribly wrong.

If you haven't already, I urge you to read our story here.

Our lives were turned upside down.

But there's a bigger picture.  There's something wonderful under all that pain.

Just recently, Jason and I were talking about the events of that day.
We both agree that the outcome could have, very easily, been devastating.

BUT...

Before we ever left home that day, He knew we would need Him.

Our Father never left our side.

He sent His son to walk beside us... and He carried us when we couldn't walk alone.

He sent His angels to protect us.

He prepared a way before us.... clearing out all the messy debris.

And for that, we will forever be grateful.  We will forever sing His praise.

And tell our story.

The nightmare of that day

is indeed a reminder of our Savior's love, mercy and saving grace.

And a BIG "Thank You" to all of our friends and family who prayed for us that day.
You touched us in a way you'll never know.
Thank you for loving my sweet baby and praying for him as your own.
