Long Roads, Beautiful Sky

I had the opportunity to drive down to Marc and Angies in Apple Valley and help them load their truck and drive back to Sacramento. The drive down was interesting, It was sunny and clear then it would be raining, then while in the desert I had flash flooding which took me on an hour detour. All in all I enjoyed the drive and it was nice to have some alone time to reflect and find some peace. The night before I left I went and said my good byes to my dear friend Julie Porter. Although I am grateful she is no longer in pain, i will miss her terribly. She was a true example of Christ. Putting others before her even at her funeral where we got a handout. A rock to think of the things we are grateful for. As I drove pondering the life we have on this earth and coming onto blue skies instead of dark purple it brought hope and I could feel the spirit around me. Little did I know during this time in my drive is when Julie passed away to live with our Heavenly Father, Jesus Christ and her past relatives. There is something about the sky opening up and seeing the heavens around that brings joy and happiness to me. I am glad i went on the trip and had time to reflect and to feel of the spirit.
