God's timing is perfect

I am still just giddy with excitement about our court date.  I am also bursting with thankfulness at God's timing and precious care for our family during this time.

We have been waiting and waiting for our court date.  We should have had it weeks ago.  But little did we know that Mike's mother would take such a drastic turn and leave us so soon.  Her passing nine days ago was as sudden as a terminal illness can be.  Talking and visiting and laughing one day, and literally gone the next day.

We spent all last week planning her service and having family in our home.  Yesterday was the first day we have had alone as our own family since March 28.  Our focus since that day has been Mike's mom and making sure that he could spend as much time as possible with her while she was here.

And today, today God opened things up and we got our court date.  After we were able to see Mike's mom into the arms of Jesus, and to spend precious time with family and friends to grieve and rejoice at her homegoing. I could not have thought of a more perfect plan given all of the circumstances.

Thank You Lord for your unending concern and planning of all of the details of our lives.  Help us to trust You more and remember that You are good.  All the time.
