The Christmas season is by far my most favorite time of the year. I love celebrating the birth of my Savior and being with family and friends. I love all the traditions that go along with this season.
I've been trying to prepare my heart for this season because let's face it...this is all new and not just for me but, for my boys and our families. I know that I've always been dependent on God but, now I'm just more aware of my need for Him. When you think about what Christmas is about....yes, it's about His birth and what He's done for us but it's also about Pain & Suffering. Why did He come? He came to end sin, death, pain and brokenness...
Christmas is a reason for Hope! Jesus has, will & continue to address what I'm going through and what you are going through!!!
When I think about the things that will be different about this Christmas I get mad. I'm mad because it'll be different for my boys, I'm mad because sin is such a selfish thing. Sin has a way of wrecking everything!!! Sin stained our world & it has stained our hearts.
One thing I do know is that if God saves us...HE WILL PROVIDE!! I know this to be true. HE has provided in ways I never thought possible!!! I'm truly humbled and amazed!! God is so good.
"He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all -- how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things?"
Romans 8:32
I'm fully aware that this season is going to be difficult but Jesus is good and can make GOOD out of any situation. The Lord has given me and the boys so much and while i wouldn't choose to be in this situation I'm grateful for what I've learned through this process.
My heart is so heavy for those of us who have had life changing circumstances in this past year...especially during this Christmas season.
I would love to pray for you...please leave me comment if you'd like for me to pray for you.
I've started a prayer list and I'd be honored to pray for you!!

I think THAT is the most frustrating thing of your situation - and I know frustration is the understatement of the century - but what people don't understand is how deep the hurt can go. And it makes ME want to come out there and punch some faces for you (I know, violence is not the answer... but come on!)
I am sending your family so much love. I am sorry for your hurt, I am so sorry for your boys' hurt.
I always say - BRING IT ON WORLD... I can handle ANYTHING - but seeing my kids hurt... it tears me in two. Love you Jenn!
Lots of hugs and prayers to you!
