3 years ago today i was in china and held my baby sister for the very first time. She was the sweetest, most beautiful baby i had ever seen, and i cried as i saw them hand Ella to my mom. After waiting for just under 3 years, we finally got to hold her, and she was safe in our arms.
This is Ella the day we got her...
I love her so much..
Today is a very good day, and a very sad day.
3 years ago today, also, we had to say goodbye to a close friend. 16 year old Sam Munoz. We grew up with the Munoz family. On the 9th of October 2007 they were in a tragic head on collision with a semi. This came as such a shock for us when we were in China...we prayed and prayed and prayed that God would save Sam and give him more time here on earth...But that wasn't His will, He took Sam to be with Him and he left a huge legacy. We saw God use his death for an amazing purpose, but that doesn't make us miss him any less. Please pray for the Munoz family and everyone who is struggling with this today... It feels like just yesterday..we miss him so much. But he is in heaven worshiping his Savior. He loved Jesus with all his heart. God used his death to wake me up and make me realize that life is short and death is so unpredictable, so live like today is your last day. Live for Jesus. I can't wait for the day when i will finally get to be in heaven worshiping Jesus too. But until then, I'll live each day for the glory of God.
So this is the three year anniversary of one of the best and worst days of my life. A lot has happened in three years but i will never forget that day. It still doesn't even feel real.
Love you Ella, Love you Sam.
