[@marieevensen7228]

Sarah, I'm praying for you and your family! You are so right. God is in control. Trust in him and see His miracles in your life!

[@PlanSarahPlan]

Thank you, Marie!

[@donnadoverspike]

Your family comes first. I will be praying for your Dad it is hard to see family in any health issues. I will be praying for your mom too. My mom would watch us like a hawk when we were little we could not leave our front yard without permission. I have never seen a jellyfish and I don't think I want to. I don't know who Cynthia is.Amen!

[@PlanSarahPlan]

@@donnadoverspike thank you for your prayers!

[@glov7476]

Sarah- Praying for you and your dad. As a daughter, I watched my dad age and it was the most heartbreaking experience. God's peace surpasses our understanding and you are right- He is in control and His plans are perfect. Sending love to you. ~Gloria

[@PlanSarahPlan]

Thank you, Gloria. God’s ways are not our ways, and I am trusting Him. I want my Dad to have the peace of trusting Him, too.

Praying for those who are caring for your Dad and for you and your family in this difficult time. May The Lord place his healing hands upon your Dad and bring comfort to your heart.

Thank you!

[@sallsmom99]

Sarah, I will continue to pray not only for your dad but you and your family. I remember a precious picture or maybe it was part of a video of your dad bringing you Starbucks and such a fun loving smile on his face! Thank you for sharing your planner therapy with us. I hope it helped you to step away from the heaviness on your heart, even for a little bit. God is in control.♥️

[@PlanSarahPlan]

Thank you, Becky! Yes, Dad had a pattern of bringing me Starbucks! In fact the employees at his Starbucks are all worried about him because he was such a regular, and they haven’t seen him in a week.

I’m so sorry about your dad. Please know he is in my prayers, as are you. (I find planning a good method of self-care and find myself laying down stickers when I’m in need of them.) ❤️ Take care of yourself, we will all be here when you are available. Family first.

[@PlanSarahPlan]

Thank you for your kind understanding, Patsy! The feel of those stickers and nice paper pages is comforting.

[@vickiehurt2665]

I had insomnia and used it as prayer time during that time and prayed for your dad, for you, and for your family! I just copied your verses and notes to self in my own planner as they are so encouraging and true! Your help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth who is with you all in the midst of this hard thing and, as you wrote out this week, loves you so faithfully and tenderly!

[@PlanSarahPlan]

Oh, Courtney! What a gift you gave us to pray for my dad when you couldn’t sleep! That really moved me just now. Thank you for the rest of your comment as well. God is good to give us other believers to intercede and encourage. Thank you.🙏🏻

[@denisesheedy6997]

Sarah, your Dad is so lucky to have you as a daughter. I hope he improves as the week goes on. We vacation on Cape Cod every year. There are shark sightings there most days. We have seen a couple. Despite that and the water being 60-65 degrees we still enjoy swimming there!🦈🦈🦈🦈🦈🦈🦈🦈

[@PlanSarahPlan]

@@denisesheedy6997 would love to visit Cape Cod!

[@PlanSarahPlan]

@@reginah4387 that hurricane was devastating! Thank you for your prayers!

[@melodimoore4321]

I look forward to your PWMs so much. And I totally understand how planning and “playing” with stickers soothes the mind and the heart. Thank you for sharing during this time. I prayed for you and your family and will continue to do so. God bless your disciple heart and thank you for sharing our Lord Jesus. You are correct God loves your father more than anyone. He is in the best hands.

[@PlanSarahPlan]

Thank you so, so much!

[@KatieReadsKoziesAndMore]

I’m sending prayers for your Dad and your entire family. My entire nuclear family has been gone since 1999. But God blessed me with dear and loving friends. May He help all of you during this trying time. As a child my family drove to Daytona Beach. We used state routes…interstates were still being built. My Dad walked way out into the ocean. I think it is called the “the shelf” went way out and the water was only chest high. He turned to wave at us when we saw a fin swimming toward him. We pointed, he saw it, and ran safely back to shore. For all we knew it may have been a dolphin. What a dramatic moment. Be strong, hug each other, and take comfort in God’s plan for your family. ❤

[@PlanSarahPlan]

@@KatieReadsKoziesAndMore love your last words in this one, and we’ll be hugging and loving. God is in control and is completely trustworthy!

[@lindsey-brooke]

Sending love and prayers your way, Sarah. When it came time for me to care for my parents, I felt like it was a chance to give back so much of what I’d been given as they raised me. It wasn’t always easy for them when I was a child, so I acknowledged the difficult moments caring for them, but also saw it as a privilege to give back the love and sacrifice they gave me.

[@PlanSarahPlan]

@@lindsey-brooke yes! Thank you for that perspective!

[@happycamper4045]

I enjoyed this so much! I love the encouraging scriptures throughout the week!

[@tinytravelerangj94]

I'm sorry about your dad. Sometimes the best medicine is continuing your routine. I wish I had that advice during COVID...would've helped me through that time. I don't really like the beach but I've never stepped on one. Thanks for sharing your mom's little story! Definitely shows how times have changed.

[@PlanSarahPlan]

Routine definitely helps. One foot in front of the other. Do the next thing.

Thank you so much for this encouragement, Bryn. Truly. PS: Did you hear Jan Karon’s announcement that she is writing the 15th Mitford book now? ❤❤❤

I did not know that! Wow! That is exciting!!!

[@bekiboilard3779]

Hi Sarah.... I am sure this has already been tested or considered so it's probably silly to say but I felt compelled to share. I've heard of people, especially the elderly experiencing confusion and it turns out to be a vitamin B12 deficiency. I just wanted to pass that along. I hope your Dad feels better soon. Well wishes to you too.

[@vickiehurt2665]

Yes the West Coast beaches are different. And it rarely gets humid here in Los Angeles!

[@PlanSarahPlan]

When I was in LA for a visit, I was thirsty all the time! The opposite of humid in your neck of the woods!

[@vickiehurt2665]

@@PlanSarahPlan I recall it being humid here maybe two or three days in 2016 then it was like 103 here in Downtown Los Angeles and that was unbearable. But we pay for the weather quiet as it’s kept!

Oh yea that’s the way it was back in the day. Unsupervised. And you know being a child of the 70s and 80s wasn’t too much better lol.

[@PlanSarahPlan]

Haha, not much better in the 70’s, but my Dad was super vigilant about us in the ocean…mostly because I think he was scared of it himself!

[@pattirose54]

Prayers for your Dad and for strength for your family throughout this challenging time. I had one experience with a sea creature. I was in my 20s and at Myrtle Beach with my husband. I felt something brush my leg and turned around thinking it was my husband playing games. Except he was about 6 feet away from me. When I looked down I saw a gray blob next to me. Literally walked on the water to get out of the ocean. My screams had everybody running out with me. Turns out it was several dead jelly fish that had come ashore.

[@PlanSarahPlan]

Ooo, I would have reacted the same way! Glad you weren’t hurt!
