In every stage of life, as God had a mission for me, I said, as Isaiah, "Here am I. Send me!" I'll be honest with you, some times it took awhile to get there, but when I did it was a lovely thing!  It's been an adventure and quite thrilling! No regrets!

When I started caring for mom, I had that beautiful Isaiah spirit. I didn't know what was ahead, I just knew this is what God wanted me to do. It would be an adventure in which He would guide. This week, with joy, I renewed the Isaiah spirit. (It DOES need renewing!) I came to the part in this ministry of caring for mom, where I had to cancel all my future speaking engagements (except the Bahamas in the fall...  after all, it IS the Bahamas! I hope you're smiling here.)

My response to this new turn of events surprised me. First, I experienced grief, feeling like I am losing my own life. This sadness was followed pretty quickly by overwhelming joy! Really, joy! I know this is God's mission for me. I feel privileged to be involved in His work caring for mom. The Lord Jesus lost His own life that I might live! I have the privilege of following in His steps. No regrets!

I want to encourage you to renew the Isaiah spirit!

Here I am, Lord send me
All of my life, I make an offering,
Here I am, Lord send me
Somehow my story is a part of Your plan,
Here I am!
