patience, faith, a new perspective

I think it's safe to say some major changes have happened in the past few days. I don't always know how to handle changes like these but somehow they haven't been as overwhelming as one might expect. In fact, they've challenged me to be in God's Word more and to really listen for Him.

It's hard to not know what will happen...especially when you're a control freak. I'm constantly being reminded, though, that God's in control. He's got it. He won't let anything go the way it's not supposed to go. If that means some major sacrifices must be made then, as unbelievably hard as that would be, so be it. He has a plan and He is the ONLY one who can know what will come as a result. I need to trust Him and have faith that all will work out.

"What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all, how will he not also with him graciously give us all things?" Romans 8:31-32
