The Dreaded Phone Call...

When you move away from family you always run the risk of receiving that phone call in the middle of the night or early morning. That call came this morning...
Jason's grandpa has been in the hospital this last week for several different concerns. He has had congestive heart failure for awhile and also has some kidney issues. He came down with bronchitis last week and this complicated some of his other health problems. We were told he was in the hospital but stabilized and looking okay.
Early this morning we received a phone call from Jay's dad that Grandpa had not done well over the night and we needed to make arrangements to get Jay out there as soon as possible! So we scrambled around the house packing suitcases, calling airlines, and waking up the kids...
Its a hard place to be...living two thousand miles away from those that are closest to you. Knowing you could miss some of the most imporant occasions and the most heart-wrenching ones. Thankfully, no matter how far away we move...the Lord is gracious to follow us with His peace and His presence. Please continue to pray for Jason's family throughout this weekend and into the week.
