I honestly don’t cry often. It either gets suppressed because it’s at the wrong moment, or something really has to move my heart to physically cry the tears that I need to cry.

Well, this did it. It’s an update on Audrey’s family, a letter her mom wrote to share with the world those last moments and their love for her…and to share pictures. I just cannot explain what an amazing example this family is, Audrey definitely served God’s purpose and has brought change in so many lives–though painful–for the better. Why? Because their family is displaying the ultimate peace that He can provide and it’s brought people to know Christ personally. It’s touched lives that may already know Christ, but to pursue that relationship stronger. It’s taught us to treasure every moment.

I encourage you to read this letter, and again, take a moment to pray for them. Be inspired by their strength that can only come from Christ. But also be warned though, it’s emotional. Tears are cleaning though.

The song by Mercy Me, “Bring The Rain,” has never rang more true when I think of this family and how I can apply this to my own life:

“Bring me joy, bring me peace

Bring the chance to be free
Bring me anything that brings your glory

And I know there’ll be days

When this life brings me pain

But if that’s what it takes to praise You

Jesus, bring the rain”
