Adah Joy Maust

Blessed be the Lord, for He has heard my cry for mercy - Psalm 28:6

We said goodbye to our sweet Adah Joy on Sunday, May 30th at 1:52PM. She peacefully went to be with the Lord while we cradled her in our arms.

We never thought we would have to say goodbye so soon. This past year has been a whirlwind. It has brought us the deepest sorrows and the greatest of joys. The pain of your diagnosis is shared with the treasure of seeing you grow and smile for 10 months. The despair of missing you is accompanied with bits of relief in know that you won’t feel the weight of this world any longer. The longing to return to normalcy is coupled with the guilt for considering a future without you. The anger from the years with you stolen comes with the immense gratitude for the time we had you.

Never more did I see the brokenness of the world so beautifully woven with the grace of the Lord.

How great is your faithfulness to provide such peace and joy in the deepest valley of sorrow! How great is the Lord!

Remember my affliction and my wanderings, the wormwood and the gall! My soul continually remembers it and is bowed down within me. But this I call to mind, and therefore I have hope: The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. “The Lord is my portion,” says my soul, “therefore I will hope in him.” ...but, though he cause grief, he will have compassion according to the abundance of his steadfast love. - Lamentations 3:19-24,32
