It’s easy to say I’ll trust God when things are calm. It’s a little harder when things are crazy. We’ve had car trouble (both cars—my car is repaired and Dwayne’s is currently at the garage). We’ve been a one-car family for several days. It can be done but I find myself getting testy. My independence is something that I guard. Losing it, even for a day or two, is something that leaves me uneasy. The flip side of it is that I’ve managed to get some cleaning done. I’ve also had time to rest a little, read a little and study some.
Aaron’s girlfriend has been having seizures over the last few weeks. It is something that can inspire fear. Watching Aaron take care of her has been instructive for me. When she had a seizure here the other night, he caught her, grabbed a pillow and held her while she was seizing. He was perfectly calm. It was the most amazing thing I’ve ever seen—especially in one of my kids. God has given him calm in the storm. It’s a picture of what God has been telling me. “It doesn’t matter what’s going on around you, I have everything under control. You are mine and I can take care of you.” It’s comforting to know that God is bigger than I am. I forget that all the time. Lord, help me to know and remember you.
My Father who has given them to Me is greater than all, and no one is able to pluck out of My Father's hand. John 10:29
