Any
spiritual lessons you have learned on outdoor events:
In
September of 2013 my wife and I lost our little girl Bree Elizabeth
Kassinger, who was supposed to be born in November. A couple weeks later
I was bowhunting one morning. I got to my stand really early as
normal. I thought to myself that it was really dark, and that's how
my life had felt due to our circumstance. I almost immediately felt God
tell me that soon the darkness would be gone and the sun would be
shining. God taught me in that moment, that no matter what happens
in life, no matter how dark, or how difficult your circumstance is that it
won't last forever. That He is faithful to bring hope and life to His
children.
