What a wonderful few days I have had away from everything. I have enjoyed being with my colleagues immensely. I am so very thankful for such a wonderful company that has stood with us through Kayleigh’s sickness with nothing but love and support. I know how unusual that is but God has blessed us. Both my company and Tim’s company have been indescribably amazing.
Having Tim fly out for a day was icing on the cake. I certainly would have enjoyed a little more time with him here, but wow – flying across the country for 24 hours sure does make a person feel loved.
I would appreciate your prayers for safe travels home tomorrow. For traffic to cooperate on my way to the airport, rental car drop off to go smoothly, and general traveling mercies. I’m ready to get home, love on my kids, and start putting Kayleigh’s amazing journey down on paper.
My devotion a couple days ago just reinforced what God has been teaching me all along. That even though I don’t understand what His plan is, I do know that He is aware of all that is going on. His vantage point is one that knows the past, present, and future. So even when I am in a season of affliction, whether it be big or small, God deserves my trust.
Every day God continues to work on me. Teach me. Change me. I know I have many faults but little by little He is cleaning me up in His time and His way.
2 Corinthians 4:16-18
16 That is why we never give up. Though our bodies are dying, our spirits are being renewed every day. 17 For our present troubles are small and won’t last very long. Yet they produce for us a glory that vastly outweighs them and will last forever! 18 So we don’t look at the troubles we can see now; rather, we fix our gaze on things that cannot be seen. For the things we see now will soon be gone, but the things we cannot see will last forever.
Until tomorrow,
‘Carrow💜
