God orchestrates when we least expect.
One of the musicians for tomorrow’s memorial service (Tuesday at 2:00 at the Alliance church) was about to text me, I phoned him. At exactly the same time!
We had been deciding on a final piece. “You are my everything” by Steve Bell was a possibility.
Randy was going to text that he and Connie (his wife) would sing this song. At exactly the same time, my sister-in-law was reading from Jill’s journal the following:
February 12, 2012 . . . I was getting tired again. Just sat and watched TV all the rest of the day. Trying to breath deeper.
Each day at a time, Lord.
Give me daily strength
In the morning, Lord, we do come to you
For the strength we need just to make it through
Have Mercy,
In the evening Lord we look back and say
It was in your strength that we made our way
Have Mercy,
You are our everything we need
Help us, Lord
You are our everything we need
Help us, Lord
– Steve Bell
Jill was quoting the song that Randy and Connie will sing tomorrow.
God is in control!!
That song was on my list for Caleb service, too, but I couldn’t find the music. I think that whenever I hear that song, Jill’s face will be in my mind’s eye.
