The Old Man...

It's amazing how things can change so quickly. It's amazing how much we can miss someone. When I think of a year ago, I was sitting with my mom wondering just how we could reduce my dad's pain. Both of us were exhausted. The previous night was filled with multiple calls to the hospice nurse. He was in our living room on his hospital bed, not really with it because of all the pain meds we were giving him, but still not comfortable. I felt helpless, wondering how long it would take till things became a little bit normal... But when you're in the moment all you see is what needs to happen in the next moment. Not really of what it will be like in 2 days, 2 months or more.  It's been a painful, challenging and interesting growing experience. God is good, He provides, and there are still so many blessing in my life of family and friends!

BUT I do miss the Old Man and am VERY excited for the Resurrection Morn!

His Hands

"When my heart is breaking, He holds me in His hands" That explains a lot of my relationship with God right now. He is SO faithful in working on my life, in providing the needs and letting me know that he is there willing to carry my burdens!

Let It Start With Me

This was our theme song for this summer's literature evangelism program in Iowa-Missouri Conference. I loved the song when I heard it, but then when I saw the video attached with it, it made me love the song even more! (It also makes me want to head overseas ASAP!)
