Life Unexpected

Hey friends, just wanted to pop in and say hello. Life's thrown me some curve-balls lately, and I'm learning to go with the flow and be more present with the people God has placed around me.

I thought my blogging break would only last a week or so, and it has been 3 weeks! I have missed it so much. After my little laptop episode, I was supposed to be getting a replacement adapter since mine had a two-year warranty, but apparently when I shipped it back, it got lost or stolen in the mail (or so they say). I had to order a new one (from a different company, I might add), and finally, it has arrived.

I haven't done a whole lot this week besides being with my family. My grandpa passed away unexpectedly early Monday morning, so it has been a bit of a shock for everyone, yet I know that he couldn't be better then he is right now. We have been overwhelmed with support and generosity from our community, and we know that we are truly blessed. It will take some adjusting for everyone, but if you would keep my grandma in your prayers, it would be much appreciated. I can't imagine what it would be like to lose my best friend and constant companion of 61+ years.

He will swallow up death forever, and the Lord God will wipe away tears from all faces; the rebuke of His people He will take away from all the earth; for the Lord has spoken. And it will be said in that day: “Behold, this is our God; we have waited for Him, and He will save us. This is the Lord; we have waited for Him; we will be glad and rejoice in His salvation.”

Isaiah 25:8-9

Generosity is contagious. Because I have been blessed in so many ways, stay tuned for a surprise birthday giveaway coming at you tomorrow and another giveaway on Monday! Regular blogging (including Health Food Fridays!) will resume after that (Lord-willing).
