I've lost track of time and my Thoughts

Well, can you believe it? Another month has passed and I am just now getting around to blogging. This post comes to you from Phoenix, AZ. Popa and I are here to say our good-byes to Grandma Mary, as we call her, she is Popa's step-Mom. She is a wonderful lady who has loved us and been a blessing in our lives. Her heart is failing and she is on her third regiment of chemo, the cancer has come back with a vengeance. The truly wonderful news is that heaven awaits her and that is a reality for her and for us. Thank God for the blessed assurance of life eternal spent with HIM! We were privileged this week to spend time on the campus of Saddleback Church in Lake Forest, CA. It is a truly amazing testimony of God's faithfulness. The other news is that my Mom has not adjusted well to life without her husband. The dementia has advanced quickly and we are facing what looks like another move for her. I believe with all of my heart it is a season to simply TRUST God, HE alone knows the details and we get to surrender and let HIM work in our lives. A good friend once told me "if we work, HE rests, but if we rest HE works" I am endeavoring to rest in HIM, the true author of life. If you don't know HIM, simply say God reveal yourself to me, help me to know you and HE will respond. More later from this Nona, the question is: how much later?
