Grief has a way of changing you, and with that change comes an array of choices.

I’m choosing reflection over regrets.

How can I be better?

How can I serve better?

How can I love better?

I’m choosing memories over misery.

The good times.

The funny times.

The traditions.

I’m choosing to grab ahold of the past and carry it forward with me.

I’m choosing to embrace more than ever the hope that only the one true Savior can offer us.

“10 And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast.”

1 Peter 5:10
