I may have used this title before, but life is full of instances where plans we make do not turn out as we want them to. Life has a way of doing that and we just have to go ahead with Plan B, Plan C or some variant thereof.
As we started for the VA and my surgery on Wednesday, we received a call from them asking if we were still planning to come, since the weather overnight had given us icy roads and very dangerous driving conditions on our 40 mile route. We told them we were going to try, but within a few minutes it was obvious we were not going to get up the first hill without using four-wheel drive and two miles later the main road was solid ice and not worth proceeding any further. We called to cancel the surgery and are now scheduled for March 3 with a check-in time of 6:30am.
We are now in our fifth straight day of temperatures below freezing, with the prospect of more snow over the weekend and continued sub-32 temps (maybe even sub-zero) until a week from today. We have not seen such weather since 2013, and certainly not in Arkansas where we have been in only one storm (for half a day), and nothing more than a skiff of snow in all our time here.
We're grateful for the protection we have been afforded, the fact that we are not living in our motor home in such conditions and that we are provided for so bountifully by a caring and loving God. We rest in the assurance that His plan is better than our best plans and we look forward to all He has for us as we continue to serve Him............Thank You, Lord.
