Happy February, friends! I've seen lots of posts about how January was 74 days long. I think if you live where there's lots of snow and ice, it probably does feel that way! I love February! I'm a huge fan of Valentine's Day and the pink and red hearts I see everywhere I go.

 

What I love even more is the conversation you are about to hear today! My friend Meloney Jefferson recently sat down with me to share the incredible story of her son, Jace. Meloney and her family live in our new town, Belton, Texas. She and I began working together a few months ago and while I didn't know much about her until our interview, I was instantly drawn to her warm, kind spirit.

 

After experiencing unrelenting headaches and a swollen optic nerve, Jace was diagnosed with an astrocytoma brain tumor in June 2015. Meloney takes us on her journey of caring for her young son, whose only wish was to return to playing baseball as soon as possible.

 

This episode is a little longer than usual and you may even listen in parts. But it is absolutely worth EVERY MINUTE of your time. Friends, I am not going to lie to you. You will need tissues. But you are also going to laugh! Meloney tells heartwarming stories of her sweet son and details a million ways of how God went before them and orchestrated their path.

 

Laugh, cry, and share this episode with a friend. You will be so encouraged by this conversation.
