Heavenly insight
The conversation was good. How could it not be when you know God is staring down at you from behind his heavenly veil? Much like the ocean, when you look up at the night sky and witness what no man can understand, you can't help but feel God's presence.
So I began asking him the questions that have been eating away at my soul. And as I stared up into the heavens, peace washed over me as I thought about God's plan for my life. His plan for me. Looking up into the incredible expanse of night, I tried peering beyond the physical canopy and listened for wisdom to teach me this one mystery of the parallel life Jeseca and I are now living......she there with God while I remain here to pick up the pieces. And at least for a moment I understood that God will use this experience in my life, as painful as it is, to further shape me to be more like Jesus. That's really what I want, and it's what I will always strive to pass on to our boys...a love for God so strong that even death must submit to it.
Lord, you are amazing. Your ways are not mine, but that's alright. While my heart agonizes over Jeseca's passing, I look forward to what you have in store for me and the boys. It must be something extraordinary if it required that you take Jeseca away from us. Let us always remember that your plan is best. It really is.
