🐞 Hope Remains
Day 29 - What God Continues to Use
So much of who I am was shaped during the years of Brittany’s illness.
I learned about love, fear, caregiving, heartbreak, faith and eventually grief in ways I never would have chosen.
I would still choose a different story if I could.
But I can also look back and see how God used those years to shape my heart. The compassion I have for hurting people, the ministry He has called me to, even the words I share here all carry pieces of what Brittany taught me.
God didn’t waste those years.
And more than 26 years after losing her, He is still using them.
“Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience.”
Colossians 3:12 NIV

🐞 Because love remains… hope remains. ❤️
