Good Grief Jan 15, 2023

Show notes

Did you know that Grief is the only emotion that you have to voluntarily choose to go thru?
Perhaps that's why SOOOO many people choose NOT to grieve...
We can honestly tell you that we are TRYING to walk thru the grief process and in this episode we talk about ways to grieve that might work for you...
Is it ever really good grief? We're not sure...but we are trying...
Thanks for listening...
Love,

Signs She's Ok - Part 2 Jan 08, 2023

Show notes

We would love to hear from you!!!

God’s grace and the special signs that Hallie is more than ok gets us through the darkest of times. Christmas Eve and Christmas Day were incredibly difficult. We received two incredibly amazing signs; one during church on Christmas Eve and one on Christmas Day.
As humans, we are incredibly limited in our understanding and perception. Only through God’s grace can we find something to rejoice about.
Thanks for listening,
Love,
Aric & Angie

The Signs She's Ok - Part 1 Jan 01, 2023

Show notes

We would love to hear from you!!!

The last thing Hallie said to us was "Don't worry about me Mama, I'm going to be OK".
While things have been incredibly heavy and we are filled with sadness, God has been good to us in that He's given us many signs that Hallie is with Him in Heaven...
The signs give us hope and keep us moving forward every day, no matter how difficult.
In this episode, we begin to share some of the many different signs that Hallie and the Lord have sent to us in the last several weeks!
Thanks for listening and for your continued prayers! We hope 2023 brings you new beginnings.
Love,
Aric & Angie

Saying Goodbye Dec 25, 2022

Show notes

We would love to hear from you!!!

Merry Christmas,
If we're being 100% honest this doesn't feel like Christmas in our home...we are surrounded by sadness...missing Hallie more than we can explain...
And yet the meaning of Christmas is the one reason we can hold onto Hope of seeing Hallie again one day...that our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ was born as a child...so that he could one day die for us and our sin...so we could be with Him and Hallie again one day in Heaven...
So in this episode we walk you deeper into what saying Goodbye to Hallie really looked like...and we remember she's walking with Jesus on this Christmas Day...
Thank you for letting us share Hallie's Story...
Love and Merry Christmas,
Aric & Angie

Aric's Radio Tribute to Hallie... Dec 06, 2022

Show notes

We would love to hear from you!!!

As many of you know I've been on Today's Best Country Clear 99 for most of the last 25 years...
So I couldn't go back on the air without be real and authentic (like Hallie) and share with our listeners why I've been off the air and what our family has been going thru...
Angie and I will do an entire Episode dedicated to Hallie and the light that she continues to SHINE on the world...
But this is a quick 18 minutes that I shared about our sweet girl to our radio audience in Mid-Missouri...
We Love and Miss You Hallie...

The Episode that Almost Never Aired... Dec 04, 2022

Show notes

We would love to hear from you!!!

This episode should have aired one week ago...BUT God had other plans...
5 Minutes before uploading this episode about narcissism ...God had other plans...
Our world was changed forever when we got the phone call that our daughter Hallie (oldest Crew Member) had been involved in a tragic accident...why? Because God had other plans...
This past Tuesday, November 29th, 2022 our daughter Hallie left this Earth to get her Angel Wings...we can only find comfort in the fact that God had other plans...
We couldn't record a podcast this week...we are honestly barely making it thru each day...so I finished last week's episode because long term we believe this episode will be important to many of you but also to our family...Because of God's other plans...
Please know that our plans are to continue this podcast to HONOR Hallie...and to help blended families...however...God had other plans...
So...this podcast will also be even messier to deal with Grief and Loss and Trusting God...why? Because God had other plans...
We love each and every one of you and appreciate your support during this difficult time...
Love,
Aric & Angie
