Beauty from Ashes

After a several month hiatus, I am jumping back into blog land with a brand new blog.  Our family has walked a road we never expected nor asked for, and the changes that have taken place (and will continue to take place) call for a new place to write.  Hence, this blog Beauty from Ashes.

Many times when we see destruction, our eyes see the ugly, the dirty, the disaster.  But I serve a great God, and He can see so much more.  He sees the redemption, the growth, the beauty.  And that is what I want to see.  For far too long, I have been living in the ashes, and I am ready to see the beauty that is rising from them.

Our family's story did not end this summer, and as we walk the road the Lord has led us on, we will continue to look to the One who has brought us here.  His ways are good, and He makes everything beautiful in its time.

Through the whispers, the judgment, and the misunderstandings, we will cling to the Lord, for He alone knows our hearts and knows our circumstances.  And He is with us every step of the way.

Our story does not end in ashes, and this blog is a place to begin writing about the beauty once again. I can't wait to see what the Lord has in store!
