Tomorrow, I will be taking what I know will be a very long drive home. Prayers are needed for my family and especially for my Dad. Thank you for lifting us up as you have through this journey. It is up to God now – like it always has been. Even though my faith is my foundation, it has been very hard for me to not try to control God – to make my ways His way. This ending, this sending – this story was not supposed to come to a close like this.

The amazing thing about faith is when I finally gave our Lord Jesus my will and fully trusted my Dad to my Him, a certain peace came over me. My heart quit pounding, my ears quit rushing, and while my tears didn’t stop flowing, my eyes could see clearly again.

His grace is amazing.  

“But those who trust in the Lord will find new strength.
They will soar high on wings like eagles.
They will run and not grow weary.
They will walk and not faint.” ~ Isaiah 40:31
