Life often brings unexpected journeys doesn't it? And, walking with the Lord is always a journey, of sorts. We don't know what a day holds--despite our calendar keeping skills, our to-do lists, our planning. We do know that nothing takes our Lord by surprise. He is absolutely sovereign in all things and He knows what is best for us. On October 3rd, Greg's dad was diagnosed with multiple myeloma and was given twelve weeks to live. After having several weeks of medical tests, months of severe back pain and numerous other medical issues, doctors finally determined the cause. Immediately, we began to make plans for an unexpected journey to the US to visit him. With each passing day, his health deteriorated dramatically, and we began to wonder if we would even make it home in time to see him. Well, as the Lord would have it, we didn't make it. We received word on our way to the airport, that Glenn had gone home to be with the Lord. We praise the Lord that he didn't suffer longer than he did. But now, Mom begins an unexpected journey, that of life without her partner of 55 years, whom she met at fifteen years old.
