This summer seems like it is never going to end. The weather has been unbearable some days. Remember I'm a cool weather person. I'm not sure what I'm doing living in North Carolina.
A lot has happened over the summer. I did my usual traveling to Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky, and Texas.
I know I talk about God's timing. It was so apparent in my travels this summer. Usually I always go to Indiana first on my trip. I decided to get out of my normal routine and go to Evansville at the end of my trip.
God was already in control of everything. I always look forward to seeing my dad when I go to Evansville, Indiana. He had been in a nursing home for almost three years. While I was there, he contacted a very severe infection and became very ill. He passed away on August 2, 2016.
The Lord already knew the year, the month, the day, the hour, the minute that my dad would pass from this life into eternity. I'm thankful that my dad had given me testimony of when he had accepted Jesus as his savior.
I am going to miss my dad so much. I know he's in heaven with my mom and his parents and they are having a glorious reunion. And I know I'll get to see him again someday.
And I am so thankful that the Lord gave me two good days of visiting with my dad before he passed away.
Losing my dad is part of the changing leaves of autumn. It's like a part of me is gone. Part of who made us who we are. The ones who molded and shaped your life.
I know as I'm in my autumn, there will be more changes. I pray that God will give me the grace I need to be strong and accept the changes.
