On the morning of September 8th I awoke in Utah in a tiny hotel not far from Bryce Canyon, where I intended to film next. I had two amazing days of filming in two of the most jaw-dropping locations I had ever seen in my life, and I met some amazing friends while performing live and filming. When I awoke that morning with a feeling of dread and heaviness like a lead weight in my gut it wasn't logical. I called home and all was well with my husband and children. It was. So I prayed and in the midst of my prayer, I felt like I should look at the news. The first news item was an article announcing that Biden would be announcing a new 'six pronged approach' to COVID...my heart began to beat hard....was this this executive order we had been watching for with trepidation?? I prayed again and heard two simple words....Go Home. I was confused and a bit stubborn, the truth is, in the flesh, I didn't want to go home! I called my husband again and talked with him about my feeling led to drop everything and go home. Now 'Home' for me is Belize, so with a deep sadness for the truncating of this amazing journey, and yet a peace that The Father was working something out for me, I began cancelling all my camping reservations, my flights to Seattle and back and got a flight out of Phoenix that would leave that evening (the 8th) and arrive the following morning (Sept 9th, 2021 Yom Teruah) I purchased flights from Miami to Belize for the day after Yom Teruah (the 10th) so that our family would be together for Yom Teruah in Sopchoppy, before going home to Belize. But YEHOVAH had another plan. I got back to my home and family in Sopchoppy only 5 minutes before my Father passed away in an automobile accident. I received the news an hour later. I dropped to my knees. I was in total disbelief! In many ways, I still am. I spent the Days of Awe in awe....just not the way my flesh had anticipated. I spent those days caring for my Mother who contracted COVID 19 the day before my Father died. And I spent those days in mourning with my siblings and children. But YEHOVAH is greater! He has pulled us together as a family and continues to help us through day by day and bless us and keep us. One of the last things I said to my Father was the Priestly Blessing,
May YEHOVAH bless you and keep you; may YEHOVAH cause His face to shine upon you and be gracious to you; may YEHOVAH lift up His countenance toward you and give you peace.’ And so I placed my Father's Name Upon Him, all glory to YEHOVAH!
