Too Long

It's hard to believe that it has been over a month since my last post. So much has taken place and I kinda lost focus for a while.

We went through a really hard time this last month. My brother lost his wife in a snowmobling accident and left behind 1 and 5 year old girls. It has been extremely difficult with many questions as to "Why God?" No one deserves to go through such horrific circumstances and yet I stand on the faith that God has an ultimate plan. He has too. There's no negotiating that. He knew this was to take place and He has a plan for what is next. The waiting is what is hardest.

Only time can heal and time seems to be going oh so slow. Things will never be the same, but can be altered to be good again. I pray daily for my brother to make the right decisions concerning job and his home. He currently is living with mom and dad. They have made the adjustment well from thinking retirement to raising two precious little girls.

Keep this all in your prayers, cause Jim does need to move back home sometime for the girls sake and mom and dad's. He needs the strength to make these decisions wisely and alone.
But oh, how I have come to love those little girls as my own. There my babies too, now.

Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you, "declare the Lord, "Plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future."

Amen
