8.

I count by weeks now.

My life was beautifully chaotic before then but things radially changed. Since then I've counted by weeks- not at first as hours and minutes seemed more impossible, but the Lord has taught me to now count by weeks.

My husband called that morning to let me know he was speeding towards the hospital because our precious friend Aimee was in a terrible car wreck.

Two words from above seem lacking. friend. and terrible. those words just don't seem to be enough.

This journal will serve as my way to process what the Lord is doing in my heart and how He's helped me to walk in this pain. There will be times when I step back looking into the past before January 21, 2010, and times when I linger there- on the day that never seemed to end. I'll write in the present as well and wonder about what lies ahead. I do not promise to be chronological. or clever. But I promise honesty. Here we go.
