I regret that there have been so many things going on at one time that I'm just now posting this update.
I recently asked everyone for prayer on behalf of friends Cary and Alisa Lowery and for their little one, "Caleb Luke" who was born on September 24th, and with some serious heart defects. I haven't posted about the outcome, simply because I've been so heavy hearted for this sweet couple and just have been at a loss for words, to say the very least. Caleb Luke went to be with Jesus late in the evening on October 25th. In God's sovereignty, He chose for Caleb to be with Him and in that home going, we fully trust that the Lord will provide immeasurable strength, peace and resolution for Cary, Alisa and their ten year old son, Kyler.
We will never understand in this earthly life all of the nuances of what God has deemed to be His perfect will. But, His will be done, on earth, as it is in Heaven. It is stunning and incredibly exciting to think that one day, those who believe in Christ as their Savior will be reunited with their loved ones in glory and will be in the presence of the Lord Himself. And personally, I will look forward to meeting Caleb there and worshiping at the throne of grace next to him. We praise God, even in the unknown.
I believe that it is only like God to have given meaning to the name "Caleb", long before the earth was even formed. I know that the Lord had Caleb on His mind before time began and that He decided then that "Caleb" would mean "wholehearted". It is also only like our Lord that Caleb Luke is now "wholehearted" in the presence of the Living God. To God be the glory, for GREAT things He has done.
