Welcome to The Wurst Times. Here we pray you find hope, healing, and some resources as you begin your journey of grief. We hope you will subscribe to our newsletter (our substack) and join us on our grief journey. It is our prayer that you will be encouraged and edified in your walk with Christ as we write about the Lord’s faithfulness.
It is our belief that we are all on a grief journey. Whether we are simply grieved over a fallen and sinful world or we are grieved by the life we have in this fallen world, we must all learn to hold joy and sorrow in each moment we live. The depth of our lives will explode in color as we grapple with these concepts together.
While facing death, the Lord has changed the course of our lives. Every day he is redeeming, rebuilding, and restoring—and we believe he wants to do this in your life too! The Lord has given us the freedom and the abilty to suffer well. It is a hard, yet rewarding, journey. Friend, we can’t wait to get to know you.
MEET THE WURSTHORN FAMILY
Friends! Thanks for stopping by our little corner of the web and spending your time with us. If we haven't met, let me introduce us. Wesley and I are both Texas natives who met in the student ministry we were both attending at the time.
​
Wesley and I started dating in 2015 as high school sweethearts, we both graduated from Texas State University.
​
I am a homemaker, writer, and artist. Wesley works for a power company, loves car projects, and is becoming quite the writer himself.
We got married in 2020. We immediately found ourselves pregnant with a honeymoon baby, our sweet Isaiah. We love to say he was God's wedding present to us. Certainly our favorite!
About 15 months after Isaiah's birth, we found ourselves pregnant with Aurelia Rose. She was born in April of 2023. When she was 6 months old, we experienced a miscarriage, immediately followed by Nehemiah Behr's pregnancy. In March of 2024, Aurelia transitioned to Heaven after a tragic accident.
​
Since these days, we have diligently spent our days asking the Lord to guide us through our journey of grief—much of this we share on social media and on our substack. We feel compelled by the Lord to let you have a glimpse at our journey for the sake of the gospel and encouragement in your own journey.
​
Living in a broken world is not easy. We pray our voices don't add to the noise, but instead, add clarity by sharing what God is teaching us and allowing you to read how faithful and steadfast He is.
​
Thank you for joining us on this journey. We appreciate your support.
