Yesterday, August 21st, was the anniversary of Elijah and Elias’ passing and the birth of the Elijah Music Ministry, even though we didn’t know it at that time.

Yesterday, was also the eclipse…when I looked at the sun (but not too directly) waiting for the solar eclipse I thought it would get so much darker than it did. I am astonished that even though the sun was largely covered there was still SO much light and it was so bright that I actually barely thought anything was happening until I looked through those special glasses…WOW lots was happening up there!!

Losing people we love is so, so painful. It hurts so bad. But, in the boys passing I also experienced His powerful light and love. A light that stayed lit and was visible, even in the darkest of dark.

Slowly the months and years have turned August into a month to celebrate, not to mourn.  All of you, your birthdays, the celebration of our friendships, of love, of music. It’s an AMAZING month! Thank you.

So…God reminded me yesterday that darkness, like that of an eclipse, is only temporary. And that His light and love will always be brighter, stronger and eternal. Faith.

Dear boys…I will see you again! Meanwhile, we are gifted with these fabulous friends who we love that keep us on track and on key, singing in the ministry that holds your name! As far as I’m concerned you have never left and never will.
