Happy 10th Birthday to Johanna, the one who made us parents. We miss you every day. Johanna’s 10th birthday landing on Good Friday is a bit of a full circle in our story. Last night, we enjoyed a Passover dinner at our friend’s church. Being a Christian church, we reflected on the last supper and what Jesus told his followers before they continued on to the Garden of Gethsemane, where he was arrested. Kevin & I traveled to Jerusalem two months after Johanna’s passing. We spread her ashes in the garden, where Jesus was overwhelmed with emotion over what was to come. Gethsemane means “oil press,” where olives are pressed so hard, they are crushed. The night before we spread her ashes, we joined a Jewish family and other travelers for a Shabbat dinner. There happened to be a group of travelers from The Netherlands: 5 women, four of them named Johanna. God continues to show up in our story and remind us that he is writing it and he is good. 🍯 “We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed. We always carry around in our body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body. For we who are alive are always being given over to death for Jesus’ sake, so that his life may also be revealed in our mortal body. So then, death is at work in us, but life is at work in you.”
‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭4‬:‭8‬-‭12‬ ‭NIV‬‬ 🍯 On this Good Friday, we remember Johanna and we remember the sacrifice of a savior that gives us hope.
