When we are born we are given one chance at life. There are no re-do's. We live every single day with no ability to go back in time. We cannot live in fear. We cannot live in faithlessness. Our hope lies in Jesus Christ and our eternal place in heaven. That's what I strive to do every single day. I cannot wallow in sorrow over Emma passing away. I choose not to. I choose to live my life as the voice she never had. I choose to live my life as declaration of faith to Christ ... my Christ ... who died on the cross for me!!! Emma was never given the chance to live her life to the fullest, one day at a time. She never even took her first breath. But, every day I am given the gift of a new day ... one more day to tell others about Christ, to live as an example of His gracious love and tender mercy. Every day I get to live my life for Christ. I cannot think of a better way to honor Emma and all the blessings that have truly come from her death. God takes care of us through it all, giving us the strength we need when we need it the most. In my weakest He is strongest.
