GOD IS In Control!


As the 'world turns' and the days pass I am constantly reminded that GOD is in control! It is HIM Who is in charge of all the stuff...the BIG stuff and the small stuff!

Last Monday Mom had her gall bladder surgery...it was scheduled for 3:30 PM but they hospital called and we were to have her there at 9:00 and surgery began around 10:00 and by 10:45 Dr. Robinson was talking with Sandy and me in the conference room about how well Mom did during surgery! She spent about an hour in recovery and when she got to her room she was as wide awake as before we got to the hospital! And on Tuesday morning she came home! Within a 24 hour period, she had surgery and was home!!!

It's a shame that she had to endure such a long time of being sick when all along it seems to have been a bad gall bladder...but it is a Blessing to see that she is doing so well...still a ways to go before full recovery but she is doing remarkable well!! I have to admit that I am pleasantly surprised but I am again reminded that GOD is in control!

Sometimes in the midst of the storm...whatever the storm may be...it is difficult to see the Hand of God but I/we should always know that His Hand is directly involved with any situation! As Max Lacado so elloquently said: "When you can't see His Hand...you can trust His Heart!!"


This past Saturday Denise and I had a pretty jam-packed day and in the midst of it we were driving thru town and as we crossed an intersection a mini van came running thru the light (which was red for them and green for us!) We had just passed the middle of the intersection when I heard the car I was passing to my left blow their horn and then a mini van went zooming by thru the intersection right behind our car!! We were just a split-second past the 'danger zone' of being hit by a car that I didn't even see! But my Father was and is in control!!


Thank You Father for always being in control, whether it is a health issue, a financial crisis, a job-loss, an almost accident or whatever may come our way!
