Just Popping in to Say Hi

Okay, so y'all know I've been on deadline. Today is that deadline. 

Unfortunately, this has been one of those weeks. Events out of my control have prevented me from writing. 

This was my mother a couple of years ago.

This year has been a tough one for her. When 2015 opened, she was walking with the aid of a walker. By February, she was in a wheelchair.

Since then, we've seen a steady decline, both physically and mentally. 

After an ER trip last week, it was determined that there's nothing more they can do for my mother. She has a neurological disorder that cannot be treated. And while she's not necessarily knocking on death's door, she has been put on hospice to keep her comfortable and safe.

In some ways, it's a relief to finally know where we stand, instead of going through test after test, wondering if she's going to get better. And so we go on, taking each day as it comes. Doing our best to meet those looming deadlines, prepare for conference and whatever else is on the agenda. 

Still, I know God's got this. He's rarely early, but He's never late. This story will be done in His perfect timing.

Have a great day!
