We laugh sometimes and say "When it rains, it pours..." Sometimes it seems that way doesn't it? David and I are emotionally, physically and mentally drained after these last few weeks and now we are physically sick with this upper respiratory stuff, I also have conjunctivitis to go along with it. All we can do now is rest.
When God tells us to come to Him and rest, how often do we do that, do we have to finally get to the point where we can go no more on our own before we finally give in and collapse? I think that is what we do most of the time instead of coming to Him and learning to rest in Him on a regular basis.
We need to learn to rest more, sometimes the pressures of the world don't allow us to rest like we should, there are always demands on our time and we feel we must press on. Sometimes we feel that we are too importand to the grand scheme, only to find that people managed to get by without us just fine.
Well today I am going to rest, not only physically, but spiritually as well, rest in the One who can give true rest.

A very rough week

Last week was one of the most difficult weeks we have ever had. I found out that my dad has bladder cancer and he had to undergo surgery to remove a tumor, all this took place on a day that we had an ice storm. So far the prognosis is good, but we will know more in six weeks or so. We had just made it through that time whem I got a call from David that Lindsay his 25 year old daughter (my step-daughter) had been found dead in her bed on Friday morning. It appears that she developed pneumonia after having the flu, we will know more after we get results back from an autopsy.
It is so hard when a parent loses a child. Her mother is also devastated. We had just had a great visit with Lindsay the week before. We will cherish that memory as our last one with her. She was an amazing young lady. She had a fantastic testimony and she loved God with all her heart.
We do not sorrow as others who have no hope, but Lindsay will be missed because her seat will be empty.
