Kristy was my Young Life leader when I was in high school and has become one of my best friends. I am so encouraged by her and the way her life points to God. She was constantly there for me, pointing me to a life that is beyond my own, challenging me to live the life the Lord calls us to.
Kristy and her husband Jeff just went through one of the hardest things anyone can ever go through. They lost their baby Samuel. It is a long story, I will tell you again, read it. Through it all, they clung with everything they had to the Lord, and trusted Him. I know it is still painful and hard for them, but they know that our God is a big God and that He is good, even if we don't understand the things that happen. Nobody can say that God is not real because without Him, they would not have made it through this past year or so.
Anyway, all this to say that this little blessing is they are pregnant again! I feel so excited for them and this new little life. They have a little boy named Dawson, who, in my opinion, is the sweetest child eve
r made. Her blog is called "Seeing Hope in Hopeless", and the hope Kristy and Jeff have in Christ will never fail them, no matter the circumstances.I just want to write this so that if you read this post, you will pray for them and for the little baby growing in Kristy's belly, and that you would have a chance to read her blog to see for yourself the incredible faith they have.
I promise, you won't be sorry you've read it. I hope you are encouraged by their faith to walk through a life that is not always easy with a God that is beyond more than we could ever need.
