OFF SCRIPT

Sometimes life brings the unexpected and we find ourselves off script. In other moments, opportunities arise that require us to deliberately choose to go off script. In today’s very special episode, I want to celebrate and honor my sister Marilyn. A year ago, Marilyn was diagnosed with ALS (Lou Gehrig’s disease). Last Monday, Marilyn’s earthly journey ended as her heavenly homecoming began. She was prepared for her ultimate off script moment because of her relationship with Jesus. This past week, I have been reflecting on the beautiful grace of Marilyn. In her most challenging days, she remained courageous, positive, and kept on putting others first before herself. In 2015, Marilyn and I spent a week serving together in Haiti. Even as I was grieving, I recalled one single, defining moment of Marilyn in Haiti that brought a huge smile to my heart. I pray it challenges and encourages you as well.
