This is my Story
This is my story. So, almost two years ago, I decided to start writing a blog, Mostly about our story, our journey with Morgan. I think people wanted to know what happened, how we felt, how we dealt with living in hospitals and hotels for seven months. People do not know how moms and dads, brothers and sisters survive when a child so young passes away from this life, so I think they just wanted, as best they could, to try and understand.
If I told you my story, you would hear how Morgan was a lovely child. A spirited child. She brought us so much joy. Sometimes she brought us stress. Sometimes she brought us tears. Mostly she brought us happiness and pride. As she grew older, she grew wiser - with education, wisdom in the Lord, responsibility. I am so proud of both my children.
If I told you Morgan's story/our story, of her accident, her brain injury, her struggle to live, the months that she was in the hospital and how we prayed for her to live and thrive, and how we faithfully prayed for her healing... You would hear sadness, tragedy, loss, grief. But ultimately, as I struggled with writing this blog and wanting people to know about life and love, loss and grief, and making sure I got the most important message across, I want you to understand that my story isn't over. That chapter of my life is written, but another chapter has begun. So listen.
If I tell you my story, you will hear Hope, that wouldn't let go.
And if I tell you my story, you will hear Love, that never gives up.
You will hear Life, that isn't mine.
If I tell you my story, you will hear victory over the enemy.
You will hear freedom that was won for me.
You will hear about Life that overcame the grave,
If I should speak, then let it be of the Grace that is greater than all my sin.
Of when justice was served and where Mercy wins.
Of the kindness of Jesus that draws me in.
Oohhhhh .... to tell you my story is to tell you of Him.
This. This is my story. This is my song.
Praising my Savior all the day long
This is my story. This is my song
Praising my Savior all the day long.
Yes, these are the words from Big Daddy Weave's song, MY STORY. I can't take the credit. But I will share in the sentiment. My Savior overcame the grave. Because of that, the gift of Salvation is mine. He bought my freedom. I have victory over the enemy. THIS life is full of sadness, tragedy, loss and grief. But this is not my home.
John 14:1-6 - "Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me. My Father's house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am. You know the way to the place where I am going."
Thomas said to him, "Lord, we don't know where you are going, so how can we know the way?"
"I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."
What does your story say? Does it say "I know the way and the truth and the life." Or does it say that you are lost, without hope of a better tomorrow, a secure eternity.
Your story isn't written. Think about it. You can change the next chapter of your life just by accepting the gift of Salvation, which is given freely, full of mercy, grace and LOVE.
Morgan and Abby, the day they were baptized in the lake....
