Change of Plans

With my mother and Sue (on the end) just two months before she suddenly passed away


A friend of mine passed away, someone I have known since I was 15 years old in Florida. My mother and brother were good friends with her, too. Sue Galbraith went to be with the Lord early on July 4th. Sue used to be the bookkeeper for our old church back when I was a teenager in Florida, Windermere First Baptist.

She and her husband, Sam, had long since moved here to Atlanta, so I took the day to fight the traffic and drive over to their house in honor of her life and friendship. Words cannot express what it meant for me to be there.

Everything has been put on hold, for the most part until tomorrow, when it comes to goals for work. God has the right to change our plans. I left tonight thinking about how precious every day is and how each moment of life is a gift from the Lord. I want to make the most of this short life for His glory, never really knowing what tomorrow holds. As the Bible teaches:

"This is the day the Lord has made. I will rejoice and be glad in it." (Psalm 118:24)

With true Life for all eternity,
Dwayna
