The Perfect Plan

Gods plan is something that we, as humans, question constantly. It is perfect and it is all done in His timing. We are reminded pretty regularly as obedient Christ followers that it is not our job to assume or to make our own plan. I always imagined bringing N home and getting pictures with the family. Celebrating together and introducing her to everyone. That was suppose to include Bobby. He was our inspiration from the start. It is because of him I know there is a better life for her than an institution. I don't want to act like I did not know this was a possibility, but at the same time I thought I knew the plan. However, Gods plan is bigger than me. Bobby always told me he was an Angel, and he is. He told me how much he loves Jesus and now he has got to meet Him. He always told me when he died he will be our guardian and now he will fulfil that promise. Two weeks before we go to meet our N for the first time. I have no doubt about this, God has called him to be our guardian angel. Not just Matt and I as we travel, but also as we start our new family journey. The thing is Bobby is everyone's angel. His love was limitless on Earth and now reaches from Heaven to every life he ever touched. And there are more than can be counted because he didn't know a stranger! My tears are not for a life lost, because there was no lose. My tears are of gratitude that I was blessed enough to have known Bobby. To have hugged and kissed him. To have been one of his "sweetie pies". There will never be a greater distinction.
