God truly knows all of the details of our lives and has not made one mistake in a single circumstance of our lives. There is nothing in our current circumstances right now (if we are not in rebellion to Him) that He does not know about of has occurred outside of His control. How desperate and sad life would be if it were otherwise?!? I would be a victim of circumstances...people could steal God's blessings for my life, they could use me or somehow thwart God's plan for me.....this is a hard thing to take that the "cross" in my life (again, unless I am rejecting God's hand in my life) are things that God has allowed. A hard pill to swallow, sometimes, that the God of the universe that could with a single breath could stop any trial from coming my way and yet sometimes chooses not to...but on the other hand...because we know that "in this world there will be tribulations"...what a joy and peace to know that for us they only come through the hand of our Lord. So I do not walk through this life alone, or unprotected. Sorry for the mini-sermon! ha! Just your thoughts prompted my own. Take care! Love you! See you soon...didn't make it out today...not out of bed...not out of the apartment...not out of my pajamas...I don't care what the experts say, this is my best jet lag remedy! ha! :) awesome, Marianna.
