There’s a saying that goes something like this. . . If you want to make God smile, let Him know your plans.
Liz and I had our plan all figured out. The kids were grown, all settled in with nice homes and secure jobs. They were starting families of their own.
We had just a few more years to work, then we would retire and spend lots of time with our grandkids. After nearly 40 years of marriage, the final pieces of life’s puzzle were falling into place.
Then came the “C” word. . . cancer.
What started out as back pain she thought was due to constipation, turned into Stage 4 ovarian cancer. Talk about a punch in the gut!!
God, that was not part of our plan.
And neither were the 15 months that followed which included enduring multiple surgeries, many rounds of chemotherapy, and several experimental drug trials.
In September of 2022, she was gone. And I was left behind.
All of our plans were just that. . . OUR plans. Not God’s plans.
Isaiah 56:8, “For my thoughts are not your thoughts. Neither are your ways my ways, declares the Lord.”
