Because God is the one who restored the years the locusts have eaten & He is the Author of the narrative that I know ends better that we could ever ask or imagine. I write again because my brave was broken but I let God in. And I know the story ends well, despite the current chapters we may find ourselves. It is not the end of Adam’s story nor our family’s story because the bits and pieces we see in our day to day life are only glittering fragments of the greater narrative spoken over all mankind. So, I also write here again because I know this is not the end of the story. Their lost, hard years would be restored and rich restoration and redemption would be theirs! They looked behind them and saw only death and destruction, yet a thrill of hope was given to their aching bones that the future was going to be different.
He spoke those words to a hungry and broken people who had seen their crops destroyed by locust after locust. I also think I can write again because my King is one who promises His once weary people that He will restore the years the locusts have eaten. My son is living and he is experiencing joy and healing and freedom beyond what my feeble, yet imaginative, mind can dare to comprehend. As Andrew Peterson wrote “to lay down to die is to lay down to live”. BUT GOD has made a way for it to not sting forever. I cannot say that missing Adam does not sting. So I write because I serve a King who makes beauty from ashes and who crushed the curse of death so that it will not sting forever.
In these past 20 months we have been healing and aching and learning a bit more about courage.
#As i walk these broken roads how to#
So why write again on the blog that announed your son’s death and that was started to celebrate his life? He taught me how to be brave and when he died, my brave broke in a way. 20 months and 4 days since he died, to be exact. And it has been 20 months since that happened. But does it need to be here? Because if you scroll back just one page you will see it is the announcement for my son’s funeral. How can I write again on this space? Or better yet, should I even write again on this space? I mean, of course, I will write again, in some way.
