REOne of the very last meaningful conversations I had with Cody before he went to be with Jesus is something I will carry with me forever.
In the middle of his own goodbye, he was thinking about our future.
He wanted me to know how deeply he loved us but even more than that, he wanted peace for what would come after. He told me he had been specifically praying for the man I would one day marry. He didn’t want me to walk this life alone. He didn’t want the kids to grow up without a father.
His heart was so clear in that moment
“Find a man who loves Jesus and will lead your family in faith.”
That was his one last request.
At the time, I couldn’t even begin to imagine what that would look like. Grief had taken up so much space, and the future felt uncertain at best. But God was already writing a story I couldn’t yet see.
When I met Nick, there wasn’t confusion, there was just clarity. Not because everything was perfect, but because his love for Jesus was real. It was steady. It was leading.
And in that, I saw something so much bigger than us,
I saw the answer to a prayer that had been prayed long before I was ready to receive it.
God, in His kindness, honored Cody’s heart.
He didn’t just carry us through loss. He provided covering, leadership, and love in a way only He can.
What once felt like an ending became part of a greater story of redemption.
And today, I stand in awe of a God who sees beyond our pain, who hears prayers whispered in hospital rooms, and who faithfully weaves them into our future.🤍
