When Josh talks about this time, he tells me he truly wondered if his wife would ever return to him—but more so, would she ever return to God? He knew he couldn’t force or change anything for me, and he knew God was dealing with me. His only job was to love me. It was a very sacrificial love those couple of years.

DAVID CRUZ// 1 YEAR// Son, your first mom, your mom who carried you inside her, named you David. The mother whose eyes you have gave you your name. On the one year mark of your Adoption Day, I feel the depth of this, the depth of her grief and loss and unknown-ness for you and her all the more. She chose your first name, it means Beloved by God. We chose your middle name, it means Cross. Beloved son, in any and all grief you have, in any and all joy you have, in any and all questions you have, may you always know and feel the truth, value, and hope your name declares—that your identity comes from the God who made you just as you are. That though your story is built on ashes, it’s being written in redemption. And while naming you is the only point of “togetherness” with your mom so far, we pray and hope that someday there will be so much more—And we are here for all of it our beloved son. #belovedbygod823 #adoptionday #fostercare #fosterthefamily #writtentospeak #inthewrightfam

{Anew}\\ Pull out the dead. Make room for the new. Stop trying to revive what needs to be removed . You are not lost, what’s died is not you. You are the reborn, the made fresh, the grown anew . Stop looking to the old, to the inner “you.” She’s not there—she is the dead, the buried, the resurrected forevermore . So stop looking to the flesh, to the dead, to the record or demands. They were nailed to the cross for you by His own outstretched hands . See instead the One who pulled out the dead to plant your new. To the filler, the preparer, the pruner, the growth Maker . Pull out the dead. Make room for the new. Stop clutching what needs to be removed. “Anew” is coming—fear not! Behold Him to become Him, as the whole and holy you . Colossians 2:11-13 ❤️ . . . #beholdingandbecoming #advent2019 #madenew #resurrection #fearnomore #amwriting #hopewriterlife #hopewriters #writerlife #onlyjesus #identity #momswhowrite #naptimeinspiration
