my grandpa died tonight. he was feeling fine a few months ago. 2 weeks ago they said he had a few months. on sunday they said he had a few weeks. today they said he had a few days. he didn't. the thing is, I felt paralyzed to call. I didn't know what to say. I kept putting it off. he needed the gospel. not that I could have changed his heart but I wasn't at all faithful to calling. I thought I could "do it tomorrow" for days now.
lesson to myself. the gospel is urgent.
lesson to myself. God's timing is not predicted.
I am thankful that I have assured hope that God is being so glorified in this. The people that could be brought closer to Christ through this...so great.
I don't have much to say. still processing. mom, paige and I will be going to south carolina soon for the funeral. pray for boldness to share with family. thanks for listening (you know what I mean).

Grandma wanted me to share with you that this morning Grandpa told her that he was "at peace with God." He wanted us to know that. I love you!
