With God All Things Are Possible

Today I'm writing in Green, to honor my baby boy Jaxon, because that's his favorite color! My heartstrings were tugged at this morning, which is why I decided to write this post today. I hope that this post brings a sense of belonging, and community, to those who are going through, or have gone through what is essentially the most heartbreaking feeling I've ever experienced - being away from Jaxon 50% of the time.

Over the past 13 months, I have been growing my relationship with God, and it's been the most rewarding 13 months of my life. I remember sitting in my mom's living room in January of 2016 and telling her I was going to start going to church, to "give it a try." That night we had a conversation, both of us discussing and explaining that we don't understand what people are talking about when they say they have a relationship with God.
