Journey 31 - Moody Radio Mornings with Audrey

Every single opportunity we are given to share James' story, we know we speak of a sacred and holy time when God showed up in brilliant color in the midst of dingy greys. Into our dismal picture He stepped, bringing with Him a pallet of dramatic hues, energizing sprays, sustaining shades that transformed our trembling family portrait into a visual of grace, mercy and hope. Each occasion to recall what He allowed and where He took us and what lessons He taught us along the way is a reminder of His infinite ability to transform pain and use disappointments and measure grief so it cannot destroy. At the book signings where I read a portion of the story, at Bible studies where I share an application from a portion of the journey, at children's events where I highlight James' journal entries, and in radio interviews like the one Moody radio presented in September, each one becomes a bitter sweet moment, where time stops, where I am suspended between what has been and what God is making of it.
The journey continues, it did not cease when we lowered that precious body into the earth. My God, who stills storms and lights darkness and fills voids, He is the ultimate story-teller. He is writing James' adventure still. Death was not the ending; it cannot win. It must bow before the God of the universe who does all things well. He is the artist and the author. I wait to see what is yet ahead.
