Sadness Today

We got a call this morning at 1:20am from Mike's mom. His grandmother passed away last night at 12:30pm. Mike was very close to her.
Please keep Mike in your thoughts a prayers today. He's off from work today and tomorrow and going down to Newton today to help his mom make arrangements.
I will probably be off a couple days next week for the funeral.

I'm still in a bit of shock/not awake yet. I will be thinking about this all day, trying to absorb it, understand and get myself situated so I can comfort Mike and his family.

We haven't told Princess or Snickers yet. Snicker is too young to understand, but Princess prays for her 'Great Grammie Emily' every night. So we will most likely talk with her tonight and kinda teach her about death and life and help her understand.

The dots are connected now, but last night, my Worship Team leader only had a very small core group of people to worship on Sunday, and that didn't include me. At first I was confused and hurt, but now I understand that this is what God had in store for me. He needed me available to comfort my family.
God is so great and I praise Him for the wonderful things that he has in store for my life. I want to praise and serve Him with all of my life!
