My husband's twin died on Monday. So, I put together the fourth funeral in 10 months. Incredible that they are all gone - Terry, MIL, FIL and BIL.. and my Mom less than 2 years ago. I can't really process it.
I loaded up the car and my son and I headed to Florida yesterday. After a fiasco getting down here (I missed my turn onto the highway heading south) No GPS, no internet access. Had to rely on common sense and purchased a good old paper map. It was good for my Eagle Scout, though! It was a great ride. He was chatty (which is why we missed the turn) and the two shih tzus I brought with me were SO good.
A friend of mine wondered why I wasn't upset about being "lost". I figured out that I wasn't because I don't know where my life is going other than eventually to heaven. At least I knew I was headed to Destin. I just wasn't going to get there by the route I planned out. I would eventually get there, though! No reason to stress over it. The same goes with my life. It's just time for me to really pull out the original paper map, the bible.
Okay. Enough of that. Back to the beach. Daniel is already down there. Highs here are expected to be in the 80's all week - fabulous! I couldn't have picked a better week to be down here! God must be smiling at me for a change!
