Kind of a hard week…

October 6, 2009 Lana

After an amazing service on Sunday, my phone started to ring. We were actually still in the service so I silenced the ringer. It kept ringing. First it was my Dad then my Mom.

As soon as our pastor released us – I hurried out the door and answered the phone. It turns out the news was not good. My step-mom had a blood clot and passed away quickly that morning. She had been my married to my Dad since I was seven and taught me sooooo many things. She is in the hands of a Merciful God.

So, we hurried and bagged all our dirty clothes and headed toward the Houston area. We brought about 5 loads of dirty, I mean dirty clothes to my mom’s house. Bless her heart – she has washed every item. She has also been watching all my children (not the soap) why I have been with my Dad and step-brother.

It has been a sobering experience during this time. God is so faithful! We haven’t stopped much and chilled but that part is coming soon.

Thank you to everyone who has prayed for my Dad during this time. He is holding up considering all that has happened.

I’ll not post again until we are home.

Blessings to you!!! You are loved!!!

    I’m so sorry about your stepmom. Being a stepmom myself though, it’s refreshing to hear from someone who had a postive, loving relationship with theirs.
