For two years I have been following the blog of a mother who lost her four year old daughter in a tragic car accident. I read her latest post today and couldn't help but share it and piggy back it on my own post from earlier today. She spoke straight to my heart today and said what I was feeling far more eloquently than I ever could.
Eyes on the Horizon

Why do I suddenly want to celebrate and share that our little baby girl is coming? Because I want to set my eyes on the horizon. I want to focus on the beauty made possible by this storm we have endured. I don't want the dark, ugly dirt under my feet to grab my attention and be my focus anymore. The trials I have endured were not meant to give me a spirit of fear. They were meant for my good. (2 Timothy 1:7, Genesis 50:20) We could spend our whole lives trying to figure out why bad things happen. We could spin our heads and never know all the answers. Until the day our glasses are removed we will never see the beauty in all its divine fullness. But I can finally rest in the only answer I do know to be true. Why did I have to endure the loss of six children....because in that pain God's glory is more beautifully reflected. How could a rainbow ever be so beautiful if not for the storm and clouds that make it possible?
I love you always and forever and no matter what.
