The Higgins family is officially homeless. Seeing the moving truck drive away was incredibly difficult. Brad took our picture by the BJ tree. We walked through the house and his room for the last time. Our emotions spilled out once again. We clung to each other. The reality of BJ's being gone struck deep once again.

Generous friends are allowing me to set up temporarily in their homes. In Zionsville during the week (Praise God - relieved of the hour drive) and back home to Mooresville on the weekend. God's grace is unfolding before my eyes.

I got the opportunity to talk with one of BJ's surgeon's nurses, who is also a parent of several of my students and former students the other day. Her family was praying for us before she realized she knew me. She was sharing the impact that BJ's testimony has had and continues to have on people around her. She encouraged me so very much. Thank you Donna for stopping me at a time when I actually had time to talk with you in the hallway. There is really only one spot in my schedule where I have extra time in between classes and, you guessed it, this was the day. Instead of a 5 minute break or no break in between classes (per normal), I had 20 minutes this day. Further evidence that God works in the details!

Thank you to my friend Lori, wow, you have been so diligent in praying and keeping up with us. I am constantly amazed at the dedication of God's people. The picture is a perfect reflection of God's light shining down on the storm - I love it! Thank you for your thoughtful words. I could write to many friends who have cared for us in such a way. God has overwhelmed us with the love of others during this time. It has been so incredible, so indescribable, so humbling. I am learning just how important relationships are. My prayer is that more of our friends and acquaintances become our forever friends in Jesus' name.

Jesus had nowhere to lay his head. He was homeless as well. His humble means allows us to think Him approachable. An ordinary guy. Completely human, yet completely God. A miracle we may never understand. God's ways are certainly not our ways and I praise Him for that!
