[We are] hard-pressed on every side, yet not crushed; [we are] perplexed, but not in despair;
persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed--
2 Corinthians 4:8-9
It's been a stressful week, but God is still in the driver's seat. He has everything under control. He holds me in His hand, and He loves me. Best of all, He loves those I love, and He has a plan.
Oh, Martha! This is SO speaking to my heart today...thank you!
ReplyDelete"Leaves don't worry when strong winds blow..." Oh THIS...yes! I am holding that in my heart today.
Lindsey, God works in mysterious ways, doesn't He?
DeleteI took a peek at your blog too. Somewhere, buried in my basement, are those books on Creole we bought several years back, after a hurricane, when my daughter longed to go on a missions trip to Haiti. I think perhaps God is slowly putting that together. Time will tell.
Great thoughts...they're just along for the ride!
ReplyDeleteI need to remember this often.
DeleteGuess I can soon turn it to snowflakes, huh?
DeleteSO thankful He has it all under control!!! Love you Martha!
ReplyDeleteI love you too, Heather!
DeleteSo true...we sang this moring. "He knows my name. He sees each tear that falls, and He hears me when I call. Such comfort. Leaves don't stress.. I'l going to listen to them today. Thanks Martha.
