Thoughts of ?

Well, it is mid-January 2010 and I am wondering where time has gone. Normally, Popa and I would be back in Sri Lanka but we are still in Oregon seeing to the details of my Mom's health and welfare. It is difficult to keep putting your trust in God day after day when not much has changed in the last twenty-four hours, but the truth is simply....God is in charge of our lives. There is no higher authority, no one who loves mankind more (including my momma) and no one who weaves the fabric of our lives together into fine tapestry than our loving heavenly Father. So, we get to turn over our days to HIM with a heart of thanksgiving and praise. I am learning a new level of trust as I watch my dear Momma decline mentally more every day. It is hard to watch someone you love withdraw into a state of confusion and not be able to do anything to stop it. The ONE who keeps our lives in his hands is the ONE who numbers our days. There is room for growth in every situation and circumstance. In these last days of January 2010 I hope to find a new level of faith and trust in God as I continually entrust my Mom into HIS care.
