Blessings....A top ten list....

1) God's Amazing Faithfulness in our finances during this time....The generous outpouring from Will's workplace, donations of food, energy, time and money.......


2) The sweet and loving photography from my friend Tracie who was able to document the beautiful body of Branson, her bath, her time with us.....precious....


3) Parents that love and support us....and are there for us......and that also trust our Lord.


4) Time....time together as a husband and wife, as best friends, as lovers and as parents.....


5) Tears from those that mourn with us..those that understand all to well, and those that simply carry weight with us.


6)our kids.....the ones that get us out of bed, cause us to continue to smile and laugh together in the midst of grief.


7) A body of Christ that has met us in our darkest night and pursued us, prayed with us, uplifted us.....


8) Friends that have met with us, babysat me, cried with us, cleaned our house......amazing testimonies of how to love well.


9) Music...United Pursuit, Vince Gibson, Michael Ketterer, Daniel Bashta, Jesus Culture, Hillsong, Raychel Hughes.....without this worship we would have fallen into the pit a month ago....It has sustained us, enriched us and caused us to raise our hands in the living room, dance in the shower, cry into our pillow and pull the car over on the side of the highway......It has been life.


10) Most of all- for the testimony of Branson's life....for the people that have come to know Christ, come back to Christ and have been touched by her life....."so that others may see and know"......
