Looking back, everything now has new meaning as if he was preparing us for a time such as this. And although I’ll never understand the timing nor the way it happened, I do understand the purpose of so many other things. My husband was a teacher to many, the daily talks, the lessons on forgiveness and the gentle way he would remain consistent in making you the leader he knew you to be, so that God could get all of the glory. He saw the potential in everyone, even those who didn’t always lead with it. When I look at our sons I see the best parts of my husband in so many ways. I don’t see an ending but a new beginning that continues his legacy; one that honors him beyond an Instagram post. What mattered the most to him wasn’t in his words ”putting on” but what you do for Christ, what you do in the dark and what you did with all that he poured into us daily. I know my husbands plans, his desires and the unfinished work he left behind that WILL come into fruition. So excuse me, if my only focus is set on carrying the torch and keeping it lit with our three sons. Excuse me, if I have to be selfish and not let the background noise become louder than the voice of the Lord as he guides my steps. To do anything less would dishonor every lesson my husband taught me. So, as for me and my household we will serve the Lord in all of our ways and continue to honor my husband, their father until our last breath. @jmmycollins @jettyoungturnup @weirdovision
