3 Weeks Later

We have been apart for almost 3 weeks. These past 3 weeks have felt like an eternity without Molly in my arms. The most surprising part of this journey is how empty I feel. There are no more kicks, no baby to nurse, no warm snuggles, no hungry cries in the middle of the night. This is part of the journey my heart was not ready for. It’s the part of the journey that no heart can prepare for. The immense, overwhelming feeling of missing something that wells up and often spills over into tears.

So I cling to Jesus. I cling to words of truth, words of hope, words of strength. My strength isn’t enough right now and I’ve never been more aware of that fact. The past 3 weeks have been the hardest weeks of my life. A lot of darkness, sadness and doubts have been overwhelming my heart. BUT God. God is how I keep going. God’s word that promises he will bring the light to darkness, hope to the lost and strength to the weak. BUT God is how I know I will keep going, not by my own strength but His.

These words from one of the very special songs at Molly’s Celebration keep echoing in my heart and I often find myself singing them:

Oh, Your grace so free
Washes over me
You have made me new
Now life begins with You
It\'s your endless love
Pouring down on us
You have made us new
Now life begins with You
