Running in circles




I am behind. Behind in blogging, behind in returning emails, behind in everything. I’ve been with my parents most of this week, but in addition to my dad’s health problems, earlier this week my uncle passed away completely unexpectedly.  I rushed home to gather clothes for a funeral and am heading back to Kansas today. 

This is a sad week.  This uncle was my dad’s best friend; they talked on the phone every day, several times a day.  His death has sent my dad deeper into the depression he was already sinking into over his own health problems.  His brother was ten years younger than my dad. 

I will be home for good this weekend; as much as I would like to stay with my family and try to help them right now, I need to get take care of my own family and life here. So I will be back, and will slowly get caught up with everything.  If you’re waiting on an email from me, please be patient.  I’ll get back on track soon.

        I don’t think you are behind – you are right where God needs you, right when He needs you. Being there for your family is WAY more important than anything else right now. Know that we are praying for you!

        My dad, at a fairly young age, outlived my mom, his sister, his best friends from high school and college. What I admired about him was his talent to make new friends, though he missed, very much, the ability to share stories from the past.

        Love to you.

        I am so sorry for your loss and am praying that you are able to find God’s grace in this time to get you through. I know how you feel about running behind! But I agree with the other’s comments….we are right where we need to be. We are the ones who put pressure on ourselves. Just breathe. And do what you can. God will take care of the rest. :)
