I Know that My Redeemer Lives.


It's hard sometimes to just step back and see your life the way it actually was. There are moments of weakness where you realize that your past is something that you can never go back to, your decisions in life are solid, and your pathway to where ever you may be going is something that you wanted more than anything at one point. Your life, and my life, tells a story of a person who has lived on this Earth and who has felt things. The greatest thing about being human is our ability to feel.We can feel happiness, we can feel sadness, we can feel pain, and we can feel the tender mercies of love. We too often take this experience for granted, at least I know I do. There are times where you may feel like your life is hard. The challenges that you have been given are too much, and the physical circumstances you have been placed into are unfair. Let me tell you something: You can do ALL things through Christ. I am sure you can quote the scripture or remember a time when someone has said it. The fact of the matter is, it is so true. There is nothing in life that you cannot face. There are no trials to hard and there are no circumstances that give you the right to be unhappy. You are always loved by our Heavenly Father. I never will understand the love he has for me, or the love he has for his Son. He let his Son die, and by dying he saved the world. It is in him, and from him, that we should gain our strength to move on. Jesus Christ is the person who we should receive our strength from. Every pain we have he has felt. He is my rock and my Redeemer . He is my reason for hope. He is my reason to love. I know that my Redeemer lives, what comfort this sweet sentence gives.

A Letter to Asher Rae.

Baby Asher, Your momma is currently in labor and in a few hours you'll make your grand debut into this world. From the moment I knew you were coming I was in shock and how much my heart could grow. I work with sweet children all day and I love them so much. The love I already have for you is so different. You'll be the first grandchild of my parents, and you'll be my first ever niece. You're coming into a world that is incredibly hard and difficult. With your amazing parents in your life you'll be taught how to be strong and to be valiant in all circumstances. Your dad, my brother, is an excellent human being. He is dedicated, he is a dreamer, he is a hard worker, and he will be the most amazing father. Your mom is so beautiful. She is loving, she is patient, and she loves your dad so much. Your grandma, my mom, is SO excited for you. She will love you and spoil you, but she will also help you when things get hard. Your Grandma Forsyth is a tough woman. The toughes...

COVID

The world of COVID-19 has been a world I never imagined possible. While this time has taken away so many things I am grateful for the things it has given me. I've found my new normal and for someone who loves structure that has been a huge relief. I don't feel the need to do as much. I don't feel as rushed. I dropped my ipad on the tile today and cracked the screen pretty badly and I didn't even cry. Things have become things and my trips to Target don't seem as crucial anymore. I've been sewing. I thank my grandmas and my aunts for their love of sewing that is now ingrained on my heart. I watch a lot of TV. I do a lot of cooking. Who knew?
