waiting

A year ago I was just bouncing along, unaware of the life changers ahead.
MeeMaw’s birthday was a happy celebration.
I was healthy and took sight for granted
David and I had “our time”
My greatest concern was a woman asking me if I was pregnant when I was just fat.

And today we have hit the skid.
And spin in full, disorienting, fierce whirling.

The family waits for MeeMaw’s time, which is very close.
My sweet mother in law is ill and the family is making difficult choices about her care. Next week David and I will be her sole caregivers.
Did I mention I am reading 1000 pages a week?

I am overcome.




Yet those who wait for the LORD Will gain new strength; They will mount up with wings like eagles, They will run and not get tired, They will walk and not become weary. Isaiah 40:31

Trying to let these words sink in.

One of the Psalms talks about being overwhelmed (swept under the waves) and the LORD being the one who rescure with his hand. You are ever in our prayers.

DMP is sick. I'm just getting over something. Forgive my communicating via your blog but my computer is dead and I have to catch as catch can. I told your David that we'd be available to help with Mary just let us know when or what. You might want to bring her to my house for a visit.
We love you.
We want to be here for you.
