The Lord Giveth, and the Lord Taketh Away

Today brought on good news, as well as bad. I feel like the bad news should begin, to finish off on a good note.

My dad's father-in-law, my step-grandfather, passed away today. He had a long and painful battle with prostrate cancer, and our family will miss him dearly. Though I did not know him that long, I definitely will miss him and his quiet sense of humor and his love for blue-grass music. The pain of losing him was definitely not cushioned by the fact that my car has stopped running, which may impede me from attending his funeral. That's what I've been dealing with today.

On a much better note, my mom left me a message today in regards to my mission trip! The donations from the potluck that my church had for me have been counted up, and I received over $900!! PRAISE GOD!!!

Today has been rough, and I'm not really ready to start this week off, but, with the grace and strength of God, I will make it. Please continue to keep my trip in your prayers, and to keep my step-family in your prayers as we suffer Pa's loss.

Blessings on all that you do!
