What's Next?

 

The past 30 days have been somewhat surreal to Rhonda and I.  Not quite what we thought this stage of life would be.  Through these days of hardship, we see God working in ways that  have yet to be revealed. Two weeks ago I was driving half-way across the USA and flying around the country to care for my folks. Just last week we were scrambling on finding a ALZ home for Rhonda's mom, only to find ourselves preparing for a memorial service in a couple weeks. We make our best plans, but God intervenes and straightens out even  the messy stuff.
When you don't get what you expect the natural order should produce, you question what went wrong, when the first thing is expecting a natural outcome of events should make sense.  Really?  Are we that nieve?   Where and how do we learn to trust when things do not go as planned? It is said we learn the most when we struggle - not when things go easy.  We end up relying on our own intellect and abilities to figure stuff out.  So some lessons learned from someone who usually gets it pretty close to right.  My diet of humble pie is not what I think I need.  I need to push back from the table, get out of the way and watch God do His thing.
