I know for certain that my God is an" Awesome God" and that"He reigns" over all things. I also know that His Timing is perfect. So, with knowing all of this I sit here after midnight wondering what tommorrow holds.
Dad is at work, Mom is sleeping (somewhat) and so is SMN and my brother. Mom has had a rough couple of days. She seems to be slipping away and I'm okay with that.She has fought a long and hard battle. Some might say she is giving up but I say she is ready to see Jesus and her physical body is going through the process of releasing her. She then will have Victory, not defeat. It's just that it is so difficult for my dad, he has tried to deny this for a very long time. I am grateful for Hospice as they have tried to help Dad understand what is happening and this afternoon he and I were able to talk about the decline of her physical body. I told him how wonderful it was that God had allowed us so much more time with her and that she needed to know he was going to be alright. Please pray with me that he will set her free to be with her Lord, and that he will trust that God's timing is perfect.
I sat today thinking about how many people my mom has touched through her testimony of God's faithfulness
and how blessed I am to have such a wonderful Mom, friend,counselor and example for myself, my children and my grandchildren.
Thank you for listening to my rambling.
Thank you God for your Wisdom, Power and Love. You are an "AWESOME GOD"!

Oh Cheryl,
I remember when my Mama went through the same thing with my Nanny. I am actually the one that gave her "permission" to leave us. It was so hard, yet so good to see God at work in the whole process. She looked at me that night and said, "I can't leave y'all"...knowing that there was a lot of hurt and unrest in our family. I said, "Nanny, but Pa (my grandfather who died when I was 2) and Jesus are waiting for you"... She held my face in her frail little hands and said, "Darling, you are SO BEAUTIFUL and I love you so much." I think she was finally able to release us all into His hands, because that is the night she went home to join them. I will never forget that night...it's one of the most precious memories I own. I am praying for precious memories now, for you and the children, your family, and especially your Dad. Lifting you all up, right now...
