The Lord is my Shepherd

---

Dear friends,

The God and Creator of all things is faithful. Loving. He is almighty. Just. One that has given mankind a choice to make decisions of good or evil. One that gives and takes away on earth. We live in a world where I/we and mankind have chosen to sin against God. And as a result, we face the hardships of life and experience anguish in suffering.

In mid-June, my mom began to decline rapidly. She began losing most of her strength which compounded the effect of her paralysis on the left side of her body. In mid-July, Mom lost all her vision and she began struggling to the degree of swallowing water. On August 10th, 2023 at about 4:00 in the morning, with my dad, my wife, myself, and several other family members at mom’s side, God took Mom, Verda Kaye, home to be with him. Watching Mom’s unwavering faith in her Lord and Saviour over the last year and a half will forever be a testament to us of His love, His grace, and His presence in our walk with Him.

We are thankful for each of you who has supported us on this journey through encouragement, prayers, and physical help in the day-to-day. As much as we want Mom back, we are thankful for the freedom from her suffering and the hope of eternity with her in Heaven.

Our future steps…..

We have taken a step back since Mom’s passing and are focusing on our family. The past couple of years have been a busy and trying time for our young family. As much as we desire and have the burden of wanting to come to a plan of action for the next several years, we realize we are in a grieving time and a wilderness journey. We long for God to clearly show us a path that would honor and glorify Him in His timing.

After several years of talks with land developers, my parent’s house is under contract to sell in the fall of 2024. So Dad is planning to move from the house that he and Mom lived in for the past thirty years. It will be a bittersweet move for him and us children with all of our childhood memories of Mom being at this house. So we plan to stay in the home area until the end of 2024 with my dad and youngest brother Ryan and help with packing, selling, and moving things to a new home in the area.

We would greatly appreciate your prayers and feedback as we continue to seek the Lord’s leading in our lives. May God bless you all with His presence this Christmas season.
