This morning at 3:30, Grandma Lowery let go of life as we know it and entered into a life many of us long for. We are jealous. Sad. But not for more than a tear or two. Because really, this is what we have been praying for. Grandma Harman whispered in her ear yesterday morning that it was okay...let go and go to Jesus...He's waiting for you. This morning, a very heavy weight has been lifted from Grandma Harman's mind. There's peace. She has a smile, knowing her mother is where she has longed to be.
My job for today...going through photos. Here is one of the gems. Almost 10 years old. But a favorite.

"Blessings come through raindrops." keeps coming to mind this morning.
God knew when we came home that Grandma would pass. We didn't.
God knew that the closing on our house would take longer than anticipated. We didn't.

I see the fingers....he's either tired or feeling insecure...or both. |
Thankful. Thankful that He knows, even when we don't. We become rather anxious not knowing. But we trust
His timing.
A few days ago, I asked a few friends who happened to ask about it, to pray that God would change the normal timeline for the bank. The next day, we received word that the normal date (April 30th) had been changed to April 16th. We now having a closing date on our house. April 16 at 4 p.m. We haven't purchased our plane tickets home yet. But we will probably fly home the 22nd. We still have to make a trip to Chicago to the Guatemalan consulate.
God gave us a bit of sunshine yesterday morning. A sweet baby girl was born to one of Grandpa Harman's cows. Sweet thing. New life is always a blessing. Britt took some awesome pictures.
